I would love a Green party Syriza style breakthrough, but the FPTP system means change won't happen. So you are stuck with a Lib/Lab/Con vote and each of which would be a crime against humanity (illegal wars, bank worship, child abuse coverups etc). Just horrible.

Never has a system looked so broken and corrupt.

So who is this nasty party? :

America doesn't have a labor party, so I'm not familiar with them either. How does the Green party differ/compare to the others?
Are conservatives over there like the ones in America? (Bush-Reagan)
Is there a party that feels itself to be morally above the rest?
And last is the liberal party over there similar to America's liberals who are okay with television shows that allow guys kissing guys. Funding programs that sound good, but don't really do much but make more dependency.
They're okay with girls on girls....well that in particular is okay

Liberals here really allow the conservatives to slap the label of godless across the board.

The Conservatives are historically cruel and are about punishing poor people, maybe something akin to the Republicans. Labour was formerly a working class party, but became a war mongering Conservative clone. 'We hurt poor people less than the Conservatives' is their battle cry. Inspiring stuff. I guess they are a bit like the Democrats. Obama was clearly inspired by Tony Blair. The Liberal Democrats are a party that has no definable philosophy beyond saying one thing and doing quite the opposite. UKIP is a party that talked a good libertarian fight, but turned out to be a racist, servant of the banks. Then there are the Greens who seem like a decent lot, but will be unable to make a breakthrough because of the antiquated and unfair British voting system.
