It’s about seats not votes

@SeatsNotVotes

We don’t yet have a proportional system. That means it’s vote concentration that matters NOT random mass appeal. Parties that can turn votes into seats will win

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects What are you talking about? I’ve told you a million times I don’t give a flying F about ‘the story’. It’s about perspective and understanding the bigger picture of seats beyond next Thursday is important regardless of the so called ‘story’

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects What’s that have to do with next Thursdays local elections? The story will be the parties that gain and lose the most seats.

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects I’m not upset about anything. Why does everything have to be shock horror upset or celebration on social media. I’ve been pointing out there’s a bigger picture & we don’t get it in the hype. You’re starting to get obsessed now. Move on. It’s breakfast time, go have your Frosties

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects Because you’re the one upset they’re not in the main “narrative”.

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects Why is this all about the libdems all of a sudden? It’s not. They’re only part of the picture. Let go and go have a Saturday

English

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects You’re the one upset about a narrative because Lib Dem’s won’t gain enough.

English

It’s about seats not votes@SeatsNotVotes·1h

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects You get a kick out of telling me that I can see. I’ve been around long enough to see how hype eventually withers away when the reality sets in. Ideological zealotry of left and right is not good for Britain

English

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects I will. Polls help forecast the result. You’re going to be very disappointed next week, the story will rightly be about Labour and Tory losses and Green and reform gains. Lib dems are an irrelevance.

English

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects I don’t. You’re arguing for the sake of it. Accept we think differently and move on or are you one of these ideological zealots who can’t cope with difference of opinion & has to bully people into group think ?

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects Why do you care that I think differently?

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects You’re led by the polls so enjoy your time following them, I’ll plough my own furrow thanks. Get over yourself

English

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·1h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects Why do you think the Lib Dem’s will become the second largest party? Your feels? Should people care more about your feelings than polls?

English

It’s about seats not votes@SeatsNotVotes·1h

We now live in a climate of ideological zealotry of left & right driven by USA narratives & tech. Long term @TheGreenParty @reformparty_uk won’t be attractive to the electorate. Simple solutions do not work and come unstuck. @ZackPolanski @Nigel_Farage you both have it wrong

English

@jimbocrofts @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects I don’t care about self fulfilling prophecy polls. Are lives driven by polls? No.

English

James Crofts@jimbocrofts·18h

@SeatsNotVotes @JamesMarshcz3o @LeftieStats @BritainElects The polls say differently.

English

It’s about seats not votes@SeatsNotVotes·1h

@saIforddave @McrGreenParty @ZackPolanski Your arrogance is NOT attractive. And you say you want a fair voting system?! Under PR you’d have to work together which by the way your MPs do all the time with the LibDems in Westminster. Forever nodding at LibDems MP speeches. Ideological zealotry does not work long term

@SeatsNotVotes @McrGreenParty @ZackPolanski Libs dems won't be gaining any seats in Manchester I can assure you of that . #VoteGreenPartyUK

The Green Surge will become a Green Wave on 7th May 🌊

Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️@LeftieStats

📊 FACT-CHECK | Labour drones claim Green vote is "collapsing". This is FALSE. Green poll average is 17%, a record high for the party. Since Polanski became leader, Greens are +8.1pts. This means an estimated 2.3 million people have switched to the Greens since Polanski won.

@saIforddave @McrGreenParty @ZackPolanski Aren’t you meant to work with them in Manchester? John Leech has certainly worked with Green councillors. Your antagonism doesn’t help attract people who like both parties.

@julianHjessop And in say the creative industries already working on a shoestring often, small firm owners will end up working for nothing to keep the business going and pay the 15 quid an hour. Or they’d close!

English

Julian Jessop@julianHjessop·15h

Can anybody in the Green Party see the problem with adding at least 18% to the minimum cost of employing an adult and at least 38% to the minimum cost of employing an 18 to 20-year-old? In just one year? Anybody?? 🤔 ft.com/content/431a16…

@McrGreenParty @ZackPolanski Well consider this. What happens in all the Manchester creative firms run on a shoestring? Their bosses will end up working for nothing to make sure their staff get the 15 quid an hour just to keep things going. What will you do about that scandal.

English

Manchester Green Party 🐝@McrGreenParty·11h

Greens are the party of trade unions. Time for a Workers' Charter! Workers deserve better than Labour's betrayal 🥀

Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

The Mail doesn't think seem to think workers, of all ages, are worth £15 an hour. That's fair pay for a fair day's work, with money workers will put back into the economy. We are the party for workers. Vote Green on 7th May.

@deuxvingarian You’re not looking at the big picture. Loads of seats aren’t up. You need to show all seats after May 7 for perspective. This is highly misleading. Labour, libs and Tories are likely to still be ahead of deform & greens by a long way

@ReformUKEnfield It’s a democracy, people can vote for who they like. All parties matter not just one. May be you need to understand/learn what representative democracy means.

Stephen Bird Enfield@ReformUKEnfield·15h

Reform still in the lead. Everyone who is anyone will be voting Reform on 7th May. And so should you. Don't be the only ones not voting Reform.

@ZackPolanski Of course they are. BUT say you’re running a small creative business on a shoestring already, all that will happen is the dedicated boss will work for nothing & many extra hours to make things happen. Is that right? Zack you know the creative industries. Be realistic
