This sounds like a very possible way forward.
I am in close agreement with green principles, but up to now have not been well enough to pursue these, most important matters, politically.

A sensible first step would be a ‘step aside’ approach with other parties. But what do you say to the inevitable Tory backlash comment that this is vote-rigging?

Forget the party dogmas !
