The debate last night in Swansea with the Greens attracted 19 visitors and 9 members. Their candidate focused on a more robust tax system to provide the investment for the environment, welfare and community. A member mentioned they sounded like old labour.
do you have the video of the debate? is there any link where I can watch it? sorry if i'm late
I'm not at all sure, TBH.
If there is it will eventually be posted. An extract from the SPGB's speakers notes is here

But i agree it would be advantageous to have both speakers contributions recorded so we could have made our own judgements on the worth of either's argument rather than a one-sided review, no matter how honest it tries to be.
This is a video of a debate between the party and Glenn Morris, an arctic explorer, on the environment. A friendly, comradely discussion of many shared positions which led to Glenn joining the SPGB.

And this is video of a later talk he gave to the Party

I hope those may give you a better insight into the the SPGB's eco-socialist credentials
You may want to appraise yourself of Glenn's own credentials as an environmentalist
