Another way to frame this story is "How support for the Greens led to Starmer's downfall". Labour had never really had to contend with another left-wing party rising so quickly in popularity , other than maybe the Lib Dems in 2010. This was a sign that voters were willing to jump ship, and I imagine it was a warning for the Labour Party that Starmer has to be removed ASAP (along with local election losses, poor policy action and various scandals). And it's a reminder that just because a party is not running the government, it doesn't mean they can't influence the one that is. If Burnham's policies are more closely aligned with the Greens', this may still be a victory for the Green party, even if their popularity is waning.
at the end of the day, the real reason the greens are polling lower is because of burnham. occam's razor. but let's be honest, once burnham is gone, who is there?
Greens being willing to vote for the right labour platform is a good thing not a bad thing.
Burnham knows he can get support if does the right things and knows he'll lose it if he does the wrong things. That's influence.
Ultimately Greens want certain policies implemented and it isn't some personality cult around Polanski.
The big one you're missing is that they sat out Makerfield (functionally if not officially) - took them off the battlefield for six weeks, removing them from public attention
