The most high profile outside of the Greens is the utter car crash Corbyn and Sultana ar having though.
They don’t really have any traction and beyond particularly local levels it’s really a Labour vs Greens shout out.
I can see them in coalition. Polanski will do what the Lib Dem’s did and realise he can’t give up the chance of power if offered. Even as a minor part.

There's the Greens and Corbyn's party. That's it for the left. You've got Labour (if I'm being generous) and Lib Dem both in the centre and then the rest on the right, if we're talking about UK wide parties anyway.
It's a weird state to be in at the minute whatever side of the spectrum you are on. I come from a decent background, two hardworking parents who have made their way in life having come from the council estates, and a household that has always been Conservative. In fact my parents believe to this day that Maggie was the best PM we ever had and the reason they could get on the housing ladder and form the life for themselves that they have. Not a statement I agree with but each to their own. Staunch royalist supporters, consider themselves big patriots.
They would never vote Labour, and maybe there's elements from Reform which should appeal to them particularly as they age and are looking to keep hold of a lot of their estate. But, like myself, they would never bring themselves to vote for a charlatan grifter like Farage, nor a party which peddles the anti-immigration rhetoric as much as they can. Let alone vote for Restore, I doubt they've even heard of them. But then they think the Conservatives are so disollusioned at the minute that they don't want to go there either. So who do they vote for?
That's one perspective, but then you take the leftist view, friends of mine who voted Labour in the last GE say they regret it, can't believe how non-liberal a lot of the Labour viewpoints are and despise Starmer. They, on the other hand, would never vote Conservative/right, but also wouldn't go as far as to vote for the Greens or for Polanski (in their words the boob-hypnotist!)
I think this could be the most split vote we've ever seen. It literally feels as though there are no good, solid options for either side. It's becoming a case of 'well, I don't want them in, so I'm just going to vote for these'.
X and the algorithms of social media are no doubt playing a massive part in it. The other day I made a new Twitter account for a stalk of someone I'm blocked by (call me sad.) I had literally followed one thing because it makes you on sign-up, the Premier League, within three tweets I had one of those 'Patriot UK' accounts peddling false info on asylum seekers and another two tweets down was a post about the Tommy Robinson march. For the record this can't be anything to do with my main account since I simply block and don't interact with these type of accounts on there. How on earth is that a positive for any of us...? I was shocked.

A quick look brings up......
Labour. Green. SWP. Your Party. Workers Party. Communist Party. Revolutionary Communist Party. Plaid Cymru. SNP. Social Justice Party. Transform Party.
Sinn Fein attracts many voters but doesn't sit in Parliament.

Interesting the Cooperative Party isn't in your list but regional and very niche ones are. It certainly doesn't bolster your argument.
I would consider voting for Restore Britain and think that many people who were considering voting reform could now consider voting for Restore Britain also.

Have you considered Kirsty Allsopp's new party Renovate?

It seems like every one has to agree with every single part of everything these days to support a political party - no compromise or coalition can be made.
It's why nothing will change
I think that when a party stands for one main thing, it would be fairly remarkable for someone to support them if they didn't agree with that issue or to not even consider voting for them if that was their biggest concern.
Unfortunately a lot of people have been told to believe immigration should be their biggest issue when the NHS, public services, the economy, etc are actually far more important to them than they realise.

You are expecting a change to the voting system or you get two votes somehow?

I would suggest reading this before considering giving Restore your vote Jack.

That's what I did in 2019 when the choice was between a racist incompetent and an incompetent racist.
There were only two parties on the paper to represent your constituency?
I have always cast my vote, although once or twice I have deliberately spoilt my ballot paper. I think it is important for parties to recognise there was a vote out there to be gained had they presented an attractive enough offer. If I felt that strongly against the candidates who stood any chance of winning, I would certainly make sure I had cast a vote and I would be campaigning for others to do so too - not for either of the candidates I strongly opposed, though.

Sorry, I forgot that there was another. Woman whose husband is in court for embezzling hundreds of thousands of ££££££££s from party funds. What a choice.

Democracy starts to become devalued when we don’t participate. But of course it’s a choice, so we have to respect people’s decisions. We take voting and honest elections for granted, but they can be a fragile thing (even the US may find that out in their midterms as crazy as that sounds). The options may be crap, but we have a duty to select the least crap. If people don’t engage* with politics it also leaves the field open to the cranks and weirdos.
*This isn’t aimed at Glassers as he’s been more active than most of us in the past, so we can forgive him an election off! And that’s what we need - we need more people stepping up to get involved in local politics.
