I hear it is the biggest win in over a decade, something like 14 years the Conservatives were in power and 4 or 5 Prime Ministers in that time.

@Very-Rusty saidOf course they aren't the same, but they have to work within the same economic-taxation parameters and are beholden to the same corporate 'influencers' whom they dare not alienate. They have very little wiggle-room for innovative solutions to the UK's manifold troubles.

@moonbus saidWell we will see if anything changes, we too have our own issues here in Canada and our Prime Minister after 9 years appears to be on his way out.

The Greens are steadily gaining, a few more elections (say 20 years, I hope) and we'll be able to make real change.
Last time around we had just 3% of the votes and this time we've more than doubled that at 7%.
We've only had one seat since 2010, and now we have 4.
This election we stood in all but one of the 575 seats across England and Wales. We came second in 39 seats in England and Wales.
