The Greens have (so far) made a net gain of 33 local councillors, which is not bad news, but *is* dwarfed by ReformUK's 489 seat gain.
The Q. is can the Greens make a convincing case to fed-up Labour voters that sitting on your hands in a General Election is a less viable option than voting for the Green Party?
And of course, one has to wonder how things might look if the attention lavished by the media on Reform & Farage had instead been directed towards the Greens?
