Splitting the left vote is all the Greens have ever achieved. At the last election they got 1 MP (over Labour) but in 16 constituencies, a Tory candidate won over Lib Dem or Labour by fewer votes than the Greens received. 16 own goals to one.
If Reform can consistently achieve own goals on the right, as the Greens have on the left for decades, it's a gamechanger for British politics.
Hence why the Tories (even someone like David Cameron who understood the value of holding the center) have been trying so hard to swallow up Reform/UKIP.

Yeah, the Greens are the inverse Reform. That post above shows the Conservatives 1% lead over Labour now becoming a 6% lead over the Greens.
