#michaelchessum — Public Fediverse posts

I found Michael Chessum to be one of the more thoughtful members of Momentum. Nevertheless, he's on the wrong track here. Although I believe that Labour needs to to shift towards supporting PR and being open to the formation of some sort of progressive alliance or pact which would include the Greens, socialists and social democrats don't have to join this unstable amalgam of enviropurists, NIMBYs, left entryists, and Prince Charlesoids. Better to keep plugging away in the Labour Party.

I might be doing Zack Polanski an injustice, but I have a feeling that he might excite ridicule or hostility on doorsteps outside London were he to be elected as a leader of the Green Party.
