    Why would the Greens want this? They just got their best ever by-election result, they’re hardly going to turn to a guy who lost two general elections for a bit of extra help.

      Maybe to avoid conflict and competition with them.

      They’re both outsiders and vulnerable to being painted as volatile and non-serious. Infighting between them would fuel a narrative for labour and conservatives that they’re “the grownups in the room”

      A casual agreement gives power to their narrative of a left wing fight back against the tyrannical right wing and avoids that landmine.

        Considering “Your Party” has already had a load of infighting. The greens probably don’t want to bring them alongside incase it starts a fight and a fracture there own group.
