Given that labour’s policy is for a two state solution, and the greens now classify that as Zionism, and that Zionism is racism, why would the greens want to be in coalition with a party they view as racist?
I know you’re trying to make a point, but their job is to make services work, if they cannot do that (regardless of who’s fault it is), they’ll be out next election.
it’s local government, not the parliament.
And yes, the greens are not at fault for that ratfuckery.
What you’re asking is for them to basically take theor county and become a sovereign state that doesn’t need the rest of the UK to function.
I absolutely agree that it isn’t a local council’s place to dictate foreign policy. I’d also argue it isn’t the place of any UK party to declare exclusive support for a single state solution, that decision is for the people born on the land themselves.
The point I’m getting at is that if a party’s position is antiracism, and also that thing X is racist, I don’t understand why they would want to work with a party who supports thing X.
For example, I cannot see Labour or Greens making formal power sharing agreements with Reform, even if just to get the bins collected.

so people get their bins picked
Is bin collection more important than antiracism?
Yes.
Remove anti-racism and you eventually trend more racist which eventually causes great physical harm.
Remove bin collections and you immediately trend more stinky and rapidly enter a public health crisis.

Which I’d love, but never going to happen.

Why is this different?
To advance on non-Zionism related issues and not the Zionist ones.
So collaboration with racists is ok as long as it advances non-race-related issues?
How is that intersectional, exactly?
If there’s a possibility to not work with racists I’m sure they’d take it but this says more about the state of the UK than the Green party.
