    Didn't quite work for me – the idea was good but just felt a little cheesy. The Greens are normally pretty good at putting forward a positive message against the negative electioneering of the other main parties so I think they dropped the ball a bit on this one.Wondering whether Derek Wall is still a Green Party member? I remember he used to be pretty sympathetic to socialism and was always happy to debate with the SPGB.

    He took umbrage at the SPGB twitter account a few months back – I can't remember the particulars – so the SPGB are now on his shit list. (Pardon my french.)
