US president suggests he may embark on a state visit
Smaller parties aim for outsize impact
George Galloway
SMALLER parties may make an outsize impact in the election, with the governing parties converging on many issues at home and abroad.
The Greens will be aiming for a powerful electoral presence, buoyed by their best-ever local election results this month and hoping to pick up the votes of Corbyn supporters alienated by Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour.
The party will stand candidates across the country but is targeting strongly just four, one of whom is Sian Berry, aiming to replace the party’s only MP Caroline Lucas, who is standing down as representative for Brighton Pavilion.
