The Gorton and Denton by-election looks to be one of the more consequential contests of its kind since the Second World War. “Seismic” is how the triumphant Greens describe it. This was, after all, the first parliamentary by-election that they had ever won.
It is therefore proof that, at least in these types of seats, with a younger and more diverse population, a vote for the Greens is no longer a wasted vote.
