This thread is sums it all up well
I have family members who are very reliant on the state. And I use the NHS a lot for endometriosis. Sometimes I think the eye-rolling I see on here in response to voters' belief that everything is broken is because the eye rollers are middle class and don't interact with the welfare state much.
I’ve just joined the Green Party. @zackpolanski.bsky.social has impressed me for a while, and the win last week sealed the deal. It’s time for the left to have a party who will stand up for our values

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims
Yeah, having now slept on it properly, it is weird that no losing parties statement really reckons with why people might have chosen the Greens and instead they all chose to blame sectarianism. It does suggest that they still don't really recognise people who vote Green as, you know, real people.
