Any of you lot from Solihull Met area here? I am. Who do you vote for? Greens are opposition here.
it’s been a variation between Liberal and Conservative over the last few years. The voters card arrived yesterday so i’ll look at the choices when I get back off hols. Don’t expect a large turnout
Wherabouts are you? One of the LEO Wards?
I'm in Olton. Bit more Lib Dem here compared to the gold shoe brigade in other parts of Solihull. Always amazed how the Greens do so well in The Wood.

Liking trees and being NIMBYs is very popular in posh areas. The Greens oppose all developments generally so people vote for them to stop local developments.

He meant Chelmsley didn't he?
He did - They tend not to be too posh or into NIMBYism up there

Yeah, thought he meant somewhere east of Solihull instead of Chelmsley.

Greens can appear left wing and anti austerity and attract working class votes in areas where the 3 main parties have attacked local services and cut spending and hit the poorest in society.
In reality Greens when in power (Brighton) have been just as vicious in cutting local services
