Plenty of people still see the greens as a protest vote/single issue party and not especially left wing hence the ability for more centrist Tories to vote for them.
Whereas Labour voter flight to the greens would be because they see the greens as more left wing than labour.
It was always going to take people a while to move away from the Tories, especially having just voted for them plus Brexit and its delivery by the Tories still being a big vote winner.
Personally, I think that the biggest danger to the progressive parties is if Johnson is booted before the next election and Sunak gets in as leader. If Johnson stays they might have a decent chance of reducing the Tory majority to circa 15/20, surely the best possible result after the landslide in 2019
