Err, are you saying that the Greens are not a political rival to Labour? Funny how those convictions only come to light when many politicians don't get what they want....do you honestly think that Cllr McAsh would have defected had he been allowed to lead Southwark council? Absolutely 1000% not. -
He's not acting according to his convictions though, he's acting entirely according to his own ambition and self interest. I'd be very concerned if I was a parent of a child in the Primary School he teaches at. His new party advocate teaching primary school children how to use crack cocaine and heroin: https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/green-party-says-primary-school-children-should-be-taught-to-take-drugs-safely-27031825/ Anyway, I feel we will finally be well rid of him. I don't believe he will stand in this ward. He will have a much better chance of election in Nunhead and Queens Road. -
I trust people who act according to their convictions regardless of what other people might think. I don't trust people who stick with things which no longer feel right for them. I was once a fully paid up member of the Labour party, and went to local meetings. Along with a number of other people I know, I left the Labour party and no longer go to local meetings. The Labour party has moved a long way to the right, and the Green party now represents much of what Labour used to stand for. I don't think "political rivalry" has anything to do with it. I find that a very strange choice of words. -

I don't really understand the question in this context? I mean, yes, most of us are motivated by a degree of self interest but Rockets is not standing for election as a local councillor( is he?), nor did he stand for leadership of the Council, so in that sense does not have the power or influence to significantly affect thousands of voter lives.
