One thing that Corbyn showed us is that the Green Party are not allies of the left.
They are the definition of melts - they're leftwing on paper, but in practice they consistently act to make socialism and leftwing policies less likely.

In 120yrs of Labour's existence, Corbyn is the closest that the left have ever come to power. He was the greenest, most socially liberal Labour Leader ever.

At every stage, Greens justified their opposition to Corbyn with excuses that I am sure they felt were fair. He wasn't pro-PR or pro-EU, etc etc
But in practice what it meant was that the Greens helped stop the best chance for socialism that anyone alive today has ever seen.
