I would add, while everyone is shrieking for Labour’s fiscal policy, National never produced one in the 2023 campaign until mere weeks before the election.

the UK Green Party is stopping the rise of the far right.
how? instead of moving to the center, they're putting forward a bold progressive vision that gives the British people a true alternative to the far-right Reform Party.
