    Is it possible that the next PM can be from the Greens? Do they have a good candidate? Won’t this just split the left?

      In order:

      • It seems unlikely at the moment, but unless Labour can shore things up in the next couple of years then someone may well take their place just as Reform seem likely to take the Conservatives’. The Greens are the best-placed to do that
      • Yes, current leader Zack Polanski
      • If Labour remain competitive, yes. If Labour collapse as the Tories have, it’s less of a concern
