No, they're not. Do you actually know what Marxism is?

Green Left [the current Green Party] is critical of capitalism, and sees capitalism as incompatible with ideals like sustainability, peace and social justice. As such it places itself in the tradition of William Morris, the British eco-socialist who operated within the Marxist Social Democratic Federation and Socialist League.
It seeks to unite all socialists, anti-capitalists and radicals, within the Green Party and outside of it.
It also wants to redistribute wealth, nationalise certain private sector businesses, punish people with lots of money, get rid of our voting system, make everyone equal.

I have a really novel idea, how about we stop caring about how services are delivered and start caring about how well services are delivered?
Profit is not the only way for money to be lost from service provision.
Ed Miliband is running scared with the Tories up in the polls. He's going to have to climb in with the SNP if he wants to run this country and that will do no good for anyone, IMO.
ukip for me as im from Thanet and we have a massive imigration problem...

What makes you think these are separable issues?
How do you stop the problem of such variation between schools, and the impact of varying abilities and willingness to learn?
South Thanet, like the rest of UKIP's primary target seats, has below national average immigration levels. It's positively perverse how hostility to immigration is highest in the areas least affected by it.
A quick glance at the outcomes of worldwide healthcare systems and their delivery approaches?
Maybe the effect of a relatively small amount of immigration in places like South Thanet has an exaggerated impact there. I know you like to pretend that things like the laws of Supply and Demand and other inconvenient truths don't apply when it comes to immigration, but common sense would dictate if you have a finite number of jobs, and an increased number of job seekers, then you're also going to have more disappointed people.
So apparently the Greens have royally ****ed up their constituency?

We've been through this already in this thread. Do we really have to do it again?
I'll summarise: it should be obvious amount of demand created by a new worker must be approximately equal to the amount of supply they consume. Otherwise the economy can't add up. Which is exactly what the evidence shows: more immigration doesn't increase unemployment for native workers.
Your notion of a finite number of jobs completely ignores the reality of how economies function. More workers create more jobs.
