Three seats not going to Labour does not constitute a problem if they’re going to the Greens. Brighton is the furthest thing from a „problem for Labour“ right now.
The Greens winning a seat is not a problem for Labour. It helps shift the Overton window in the right (left) direction. Labour have the burden of needing to appeal to the masses to get elected. If they're not in power, no progressive policies can be implemented, no matter how many they might want to or how good they might be.
@@oliverqueen5883It’s essentially what is acceptable to talk about in politics. For example, if anti-bourgeoisie MP’s become elected, the overton window shifts to the left so that now the main party, such as labour, can now talk about taxing wealth without being criticised as much. Whereas we’re seeing a right-ward overton window shift with the rise of Reform. Tories move right to win Reform voters, Labour move right to pick up Tory voters and the left wing gets damaged.
The most impactful parties of the last decade or so have been outside of Parliament, just to the right. UKIP pressure led to the brexit vote and Reform currently have shifted Tory party positions.
So it would take more seats and pressure from a third party to the left of labour to have a similar affect to how ukip or reform influenced the tories, but it would be the worry of losing labour seats that would pressure a shift, whereas I see the labour filling the traditional centre right ground the tories are likely to cede to the populist right with whatever rump Tory mp group is voted in.
I lived in Brighton for years. It was the worst experience of living in the UK I ever had. As a foreigner most of us were employed for peanuts while rich entrepreneur types from the South held business positions exploiting the labour market. The poorer were pushed out by the council while making way for money from London and the people who helped develop the culture of Brighton were replaced by aloof middle class robots .The streets are always dirty and services deteriorated. I left for Portugal , the poorest country in Western Europe. Because if I’m going to have a shit life I may as well do it somewhere I can afford to buy food with the job I have. After 13 years abroad in a much poorer location I managed to improve my life and circumstances ten fold. After this I started a business in the North of England. I was always told in Brighton that Liverpool is grim and crime ridden and cold etc etc….. The difference was amazing , the standard of living was much better , people are much friendlier and down to earth while the cost of living is far more worthwhile and the city and surrounding areas far cleaner . We travel to Brighton once or twice a year and to be honest it’s not a very nice looking place. You can see that although the upper classes have money , that something is just not right. Everything looks run down and dirty with so many empty shops broken windows . The effects of having money still make life harder for everyone to be able to survive and it feels like a dog eat dog environment. My daughter as a child and now a young adult sees it the same way and has asked why it’s like this. When we first moved up North she used to say it was boring now she can see the difference and prefers where we are. I moved to Brighton under the Tories and it was a grim grey desperate place . I watched it change under labour and gentrify . After leaving it went green and that represents the spirit of Brighton and there’s nothing wrong with that. However as a city …. I can’t say the greens have done anything for the working population and at this point we all need to vote anything other Tory or Labour.
Interesting story, Brighton people are champagne socialists, in other words worst kind of socialists. At least scousers are nicer and Liverpool is a far more unique city than Brighton too
@@jakehowie442 unfortunately yes . When one class is comfortable they don’t care about the other class. There’s far more unity in Liverpool and surrounding areas within the population and local business.
Yeah, last time I went to Brighton, there were plenty of homeless people around. But then you have men like Nicholas Van Hoogstraten and places like the Royal Pavillion and it prob sums Brighton up as a rich man's playground.
As someone who lives in Brighton, I’d be shocked if Sian lost the seat, every street in my area has at least one “Vote Green” sign in a window. I’ve not seen a single Labour sign, even if they have flooded my letterbox with leaflets. People are proud to vote green, proud to actually stand for something. Sian is going to win and I’m looking forward to it, she seems like such a great voice for the city and a presence desperately needed in the house of commons.
Only been to Brighton once but loved the place. Also refreshing to see sane debates for and against and even the more maverick types not being anywhere near as toxic as a lot of the country is at the moment. Keep doing you, Brighton!
Its nothing to do with being cool. Caroline Lucas was a fantastic MP and when I studied there, she was seen and heard on my campus and in the city. Not to be said for the MP in my Tory hometown with a dying high street and high rent prices and poor public infrastructure.
Living in a red wall city I come back from Brighton saying that's it's 50 years ahead of where I live. Attitudes will can't afford to sideline any longer.
I'm hoping that the Green Party wont only hold Brighton Pavilion, but gain Bristol Central, Waveney Valley and North Hereford . Id also like to see elections by PR rather than this corrupt first past the post system
There needs to be at least one voice speaking up for the environment in parliament, thank you Brighton for giving us one The same as how we need Corbin to win so we can have at least one voice of a moral conscience in parliament
The Greens do not hold a monopoly on environmental concerns, and Militant do not exclusively stand for natural justice, the problem with both is that they think they do.
Aussie here. In my country young people are increasingly being drawn to the Greens and independents because the so called progressive party in Australia, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) has become a very weak, Tame, political organisation. The ALP is in all seriousness more conservative than the defacto conservative party in Australia, the Liberal Party. I have been following the UK election it sounds like Labour doesn't have much to offer young people. Just another flavour of Conservative.
Labour offer much more to the young than the greens in the UK. The greens in the UK are the party for upper middle class NIMBYs, primarly well off middle aged voters, they're anti-tech, anti-infrastructure, and anti-science. The greens are just conservatives that want a nice view, don't give a s**t about the young or nomal working people.
Another Aussie here, and while I understand being underwhelmed by Starmer, his "small target" strategy makes a lot of sense as the Conservatives are defeating themselves. Hopefully the differences will be more obvious post-election.
On the subject of who they have elected they deserve to be a bit smug. They’ve made a sustained correct decision while their compatriots have had mental breakdowns for 14 years.
The Green party has been worse for Brighton than Labour at this point. Back before 2010 Brighton was in my top 5 cities in the UK, due to all the issues it has been facing in the past 10 years from Green (and Labour in Kemptown) it is no longer. I've been living in this city for 17+ years and neither Green nor Labour will be good for us.

Brighton was where a lot of Londoners would spend the weekend and then some of them decided to move there and commute daily to London from there. That brings wealth to the city, so it isn't just a seaside resort like Margate and Clacton.

“…the Labour guy’s very champagne…” 😂 couldn’t have put it better! Labour are no better than the Tories under Starmer. In fact they maybe worse. Starmer and his candidates have taken more gratuities from corporate lobbyists than any Labour leaders and MPs in living memory! He’s going to continue with the damaging austerity practice and is offering no hope or change whatsoever, despite what was printed on the front of his manifesto. Voting for Labour now would be like voting for the Tory party in 1987. Even John Major thinks the Labour Party aren’t what they used to be and he’s been equally critical of his own party, the Tories! Just because the Tories have lurched so far to the right doesn’t mean Labour should lurch right too. Vote Independent. Vote SNP (depending on where you are). Vote Green. Vote anyone but the Tories or Labour.
Its not a problem for most of Labor, for most of the membership this sort of competition is represents hope for the Leadership to be fored backbinto being a labor party again.
My town (Margate - the new Brighton, thanks to Time Out etc) is now full of these poncey middle-class hipster types. Luckily for Labour, the prospective MP that's been parachuted in has recently, like a lot of them, come from Hackney, so she's a shoe-in.
Maybe i have missed the point here, you seem to have missed completely the largest residential groups in this constituency, theres a lot of big estates around Brighton and Hove , you seem to have missed them completely,, seems to be a common thread across media ,, labour will do nothing different to Tories, same groups pulling the strings😢😢😢
@@akoot How has anyone revealed their "true colours" by saying they don't want to be from Liverpool? Do you expect Brightoners to like the Scouse more than Brightoners?🤡
The greens have specifically said they know they aren’t going to win the general election but what they hope to achieve is that they are able to hold Labour to account. That isn’t trouble for Labour, that is holding them to their word which is a good thing after 14 years of the Tories riding roughshod in this country without being held to account for anything they have done. If Sian gets in, brilliant, keep going, just make sure this time the bin collectors are paid so that there isn’t another strike because that was extremely unpleasant.
If not being able to text on buses is one of your main issues then you’re not in the real world mate , I’m guessing that they didn’t interview anyone living on the street then ?
Good to see the people of Brighton keeping it Green. 🥬🥬🥬 The rents have gone insane here we have lost a lot of good people because of austerity and the cost of living crisis. People in Brighton care about each other and the community and acceptance of differences whilst believing in a greener future and taxing those with over 10 million a bit more. Fuck the Tories, drive Labour to the left 🎉
Glad the Monster Raving Looney Party supporter has found his political home. Also the woman at 9:20 ish seems to be totally incoherent. Saying she’s a teacher so she supports Labour (good luck), she likes Caroline Lucas but would never have voted for her. Criticises Sian Berry for not being local when Lucas was not local either. Ridiculous.
When the greens ran the council they were appalling, especially when it came to emptying bins. They just couldn’t handle it. The greens definitely shouldn’t be elected in any shape or form.
They tried to shut down the toilets at Preston park and hove park to save costs even though those are the two biggest parks in the area to take the kids to play in wrong wrong
Clickbaity title. It’s not a problem for Labour at all, it’s 1 seat. Hove (part of the same city of Brighton&Hove) is right next door with a prominent Labour MP. If it ever gets to the point where Labour’s majority is down to 1 seat, even then the main problem isn’t 1 Green seat.
Yup the Greens were really vocal about Nordstream.!! really vocal about Ukraine war and all the climate impact of the American industrial military complex and the 60 billion UK contribution. NOT … Incredible to listen to the tweeness and the chuckles.
as an Australian who lives in Brighton and votes for the Australian greens, I really hope the greens don't get in the city is a mess a lot of homelessness, rubbish everywhere and just lack of care around Brighton.
The greens had control of Brighton Council... twice they 'caused' strikes by trying to CUT the pay of the lowest paid council employees. ... Greens...hypocrits
It's a common misconception is that national politicians have a direct impact on local issues. It's actually more down to the local councils and the funding they get from central government, and with how council workers and civil servants implement stuff. Homelessness is actually a national issue, as is funding for roads and litter/pollution, something that the Tories don't seem to care very much about. I'm a bit north of you, but our town council is an outlier (LibDem & Labour) despite being the largest settlement (by a country mile) in a Tory seat. The roads and footpaths are awful, as is traffic and pollution of rivers. The only parties that have offered any good solutions are the LibDems and Green, honestly!
I mean, if that's the case then the issue is with Labour now, since they've been in power in Brighton for the last few years, the Greens lost power a while back.
Sadly for the media, there's no jeopardy in the coming election. Labour will win, and "problems" like this will be the difference between having a 200 seat majority and a 198 seat majority. It doesn't matter. What matters is getting rid of the Tories, and that's been a safe bet since even before Partygate, Truss, and Sunak made it a certainty, which it now has been for years.
Brighton Greens: Smug rich people living in uninsulated bungaroosh houses with single glazed sash windows, bleating on about climate change. If you care that much about the environment, why not sell your ridiculously expensive house and move to a brand new eco house? Oh no, you won't do that as it will likely involve moving away from the trendy bars. Screaming hypocrisy. It's people like this that make others disillusioned and fed up of climate change politics. 🙄
Ah yes 2 centerist parties for the middle-classes that don't care for working people forming a united left? Might as well ask David Cameron to lead the left.

In Brighton Greens are the most sure option to stop the Conservatives. If Labor want to be certain of Tory defeat their they should stand aside for the same reasons they constantly tell small party's to in other places.
@@matthewbentley1236 by Labors own logic in other constituency is that the greens should step down so as not to split votes from Labor who have the best chance of keeping the conservatives out. But in Brighton and a few other placed it's Greens who have the graiter chance of keeping the torys out - so by their own logic labor should stand aside to stop vote- splitting. Of course they could just do what Stana promised in his leadership campaign and try to put a stop to all thus disruption past the post nonsense

The greens had control of Brighton Council... twice they 'caused' strikes by trying to CUT the pay of the lowest paid council employees. ... Greens...hypocrits
It's a common misconception is that national politicians have a direct impact on local issues. It's actually more down to the local councils and the funding they get from central government, and with how council workers and civil servants implement stuff. Homelessness is actually a national issue, as is funding for roads and litter/pollution, something that the Tories don't seem to care very much about. I'm a bit north of you, but our town council is an outlier (LibDem & Labour) despite being the largest settlement (by a country mile) in a Tory seat. The roads and footpaths are awful, as is traffic and pollution of rivers. The only parties that have offered any good solutions are the LibDems and Green, honestly!
I mean, if that's the case then the issue is with Labour now, since they've been in power in Brighton for the last few years, the Greens lost power a while back.
Labour run the council!
For about a year Labour have had control.
The ladies speaking on their front door steps are archetypal Groaniad readers
Sadly for the media, there's no jeopardy in the coming election. Labour will win, and "problems" like this will be the difference between having a 200 seat majority and a 198 seat majority. It doesn't matter. What matters is getting rid of the Tories, and that's been a safe bet since even before Partygate, Truss, and Sunak made it a certainty, which it now has been for years.

@@gingerhermit I don't know what you mean😂
not rich enough to have hair transplants.
I'm way to the left of Labour.
Didn't you spot rabid right winger Paul Thorpe .
Not spotted. At what time point is he?
@@ElNeo9778 I was asking the film maker. He lives in Brighton and films there .
Any chance of picking some intelligent people?
Or would that reduce your views?
Journalism or …….?
Brighton Greens: Smug rich people living in uninsulated bungaroosh houses with single glazed sash windows, bleating on about climate change. If you care that much about the environment, why not sell your ridiculously expensive house and move to a brand new eco house? Oh no, you won't do that as it will likely involve moving away from the trendy bars. Screaming hypocrisy. It's people like this that make others disillusioned and fed up of climate change politics. 🙄
two can play this game, if you don't like the UK, why don't you move to a country that's more you speed?
Greens and Lib Dems need to unite the left and be one party.
Ah yes 2 centerist parties for the middle-classes that don't care for working people forming a united left? Might as well ask David Cameron to lead the left.
Never in a million years. Green economic policy is utter fantasy. LibDems shouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Theresa May would be considered left wing in such a tie up
no, libdems is still too bougie, they won't even call for a tax increase for the rich.
The Lib Dems aren’t left wing, they are opportunists without any principles. Soft Tories.
Problem is the greens barely collect the bins, that sounds pretty bad for the environment leaving literal shit on the pavement
Who is putting literal shit in their bin? In Brighton?
A fool’s paradise.
Hippie
Boomer larpers
Completely oblivious to how skint everyone is. The upper middle class are so out of touch. This Is pathetic. The green tax would starve millions. The stench of ' we know best' is horrid
Just vote reform on Thursday
Just don’t
Just vote anyone but

It's like a lefty asylum 😂
*slum
The greens will save Gaza,hilarious.
Being left wing is cringe.
Not really. Being pretentious is.
@@SunbathinginAntarctica leftists are usually pretentious
Why the heck was she email Sian about Gaza when we should be focusing on BRITISH politics. I swear some people still think it’s the 90s when Britain actually mattered on a political stage but it just not the case, everyone hates us and no one cares what we think.

Vote Reform UK, you KNOW it makes sense.🙂
VOTE BINFACE!
@@antonycharnock2993 NO! The Binface gang are rubbish, forever lobbying for Council Tax increases. Don't recycle a Uniparty, VOTE REFORM UK TO CLEAN UP BRITAIN'S POLITICS. 🙂
I know it doesn't
To Hip for Labour..........seriously. Well good luck with the Tories for another 5 year .......Cool and Fools
In Brighton Greens are the most sure option to stop the Conservatives. If Labor want to be certain of Tory defeat their they should stand aside for the same reasons they constantly tell small party's to in other places.
Lmao you are consuming too much propaganda. The race in Brighton is between Labour and the Greens, so you’re either: lying or ignorant
@@owenthomas5103 Why should Labour stand asside for Green Tory NIMBYs.
@@matthewbentley1236 by Labors own logic in other constituency is that the greens should step down so as not to split votes from Labor who have the best chance of keeping the conservatives out. But in Brighton and a few other placed it's Greens who have the graiter chance of keeping the torys out - so by their own logic labor should stand aside to stop vote- splitting.
Of course they could just do what Stana promised in his leadership campaign and try to put a stop to all thus disruption past the post nonsense
what? tory couldn't stand a chance in brighton lol, last time they only got like 10% of the vote, it's surely will be less than 5% in this election.
Thought it'd be Bristol, kicking myself, the other champagne socialist paradise of the south
