there is no broad left-wing party is the issue. the greens are lukewarm socialists/socdems, the NIP is socialist but small and regionalist, the worker's party is just galloway being a careerist, all the communist parties have issues with racism/homophobia/transphobia/revisionism and no MP could survive the media while running as a communist anyway etc.
I may be biased as an anarchist but socialist independents seem to be the way to go for britain, given that every attempt at a socialist party invariably is usurped from within or sabotaged in the media - it's harder for the MSM to sabotage hundreds of independent candidates rather than a single bloc, and voters tend to like independents for whatever reason - perhaps as an alternative to the westminster duopoly regardless of politics

Then better hope for some good contingency and emergency plans, regardless of its success or not, cuz we're going to have a mass reactionary campaign against us, innit...

The greens are liberals. They are not lukewarm socdems. Their movement direction is rightwards, for example they used to be opposed to nato but now explicitly support it.
