Makerfield is a *terrible* seat demographically for the Green Party. Don't think they could possibly win it. But they could potentially take 4,000-5,000 votes off Labour's total if they campaigned aggressively. That could prove decisive. Fateful even. *If* they campaign aggressively.

In Makerfield/Burnham news, the Greens *will* be standing someone and, it seems, campaigning fully, which will make Burnham's task trickier. There had been talk they could stand aside in return for a commitment on electoral reform.

As a Green member, I would absolutely vote for Burnham if I lived in this constituency. (A green member really sounds like it should be presented in A&E)
