The key message in the Gorton & Denton by-election will likely be its either us or Reform... but some might think that as Labour has approached Reform on some policies, the Greens might have a better pitch on the logic.
If so, will we see this as the first step of the next stage of the Green Party of England & Wales shift into a major party at Westminster?
If the vote is 'a pox on both their houses', then anyone from the Centre leftwards may well vote Green, this time, at least?
