FUCK YEAH. I don't know what makes me happier: the fact that the Greens won, or that Labour lost.

The big gap between Greens and Reform is what makes me happiest. This is an amazing result.

The Green Party won 40.7% of the vote on Friday in an election triggered when a member of parliament resigned for health reasons. Nigel Farage's Reform Party came second with 28.7% of the vote and Labour finished third with 25.4%.

The exact same thing happened in Australia last election. As the Conservative party became more fascist and mentally ill, voters shifted to the Labour party moving it from center-left to more corporate-whore center-right, and the Labour voters in turn shifted to vote for the Greens or other socially/economically left independents.

This isn't necessarily a good thing though. The law of averages means the corporate-whore parties maintain a majority, and continue the proto-fascist march and neoliberal economic collapse.

Labor have been centre-right for roughly 50 years now. Meanwhile Greens votes decreased by 0.05 and lost 3 of their 4 seats last election.
