Green Party vote

In the rest of Essex, the Green vote was similar, starving the self-proclaimed 'left-wing' LibDems of votes. In Witham, James Abbot received 14 per cent of the vote, beating the slimey LibDems into fourth place. With an average of 6 per cent of the vote, the Green did well. Moreover, they trounced right-wing parties such as the fascist BNP and the little englander UKIP (Sykes actually gave £10 million to the UKIP, and they still lagged behind the Greens).
For me, the Greens are just a small part of the growing disenchantment with the aggressive capitalist system and present an egalitarian alternative to the nice but mad Trotskyites and their many vanguard parties. In Tohyy Essex, a 6%+ Green vote is a sea-change and I'm proud to be a part of that.
