If you knew the Greens would win in your seat you'd vote for them

The Greens in government in Scotland are insane. So a hard no from me.

No bloody chance. Rather vote Tory.

It's admirable that they prioritise the environment, but their manifesto is so unworkable that it's laughable. Aren't they promising something like £140bn in extra spending?

I'm not bothered about the sex/gender issue, but their continuing insistence on legalising drugs is enough to ensure I'll never vote for them.

Greens are batshit, some of the nonsense they talk in Scottish Parliament just beggars belief.

Oh yes and they are woman hating w⚓️s

The Green Party utterly screwed up recycling in Brighton, so no, I don’t think they stand for what they are meant to.

Before they get anywhere near power they will become less radical and drop some of the dafter stuff,

I thought that before they went into government in Scotland, if anything their beliefs seemed to get more extreme and their capacity to accept different views smaller.

Less intervention and more choice for women in labour is a good thing, personally I would want to ban forceps

More choice yes. Not necessarily less intervention. If a woman wants a c section, she should be able to have one, no ifs, ands, buts or targets.

That seems to be an wander through your own beliefs. Do you really know how far they tally with what the Green Party actually do when they have some power?

Have you had a look at the 'achievements' of Scottish Greens in coalition?

Not this for starters: so long as women's spaces are still upheld.

people don't vote Green mainly because they think they have no chance.

No, people don't vote Green because they are women hating wankers.

Yes I'll vote green I'm done with tactical voting and can't abide torries but labour aren't the right party for me.

Less intervention and more choice for women in labour is a good thing, personally I would want to ban forceps.

I don't agree with their trans policy entirely but it appears based on wanting to respect people's identities and I don't oppose that so long as women's spaces are still upheld. No party has very effectively focused on women's rights - the legal system is appalling and is heavily victim blaming.

As a society I think mass consumerism is a real concern, as a country we don't work we buy in - be it food, clothing or medical expertise etc. This impacts the economy, workforce, pollution, waste and is ethically misguided.

Why wouldn't we want to protect our planet, green space and nature? It isn't a hippy whim it's essential for our lives, our children and grandchildren.

Make public transport less expensive and help so many as well as the environment.

I will vote Green. I live in a safe Labour seat and I want to support them. I disagree with them on some things, agree on a lot more. There are some noisy ones who get a lot of attention, but also many good candidates. Adrian Ramsey (Co leader ) is one. Before they get anywhere near power they will become less radical and drop some of the dafter stuff, but meantime, a bit of diversity of thinking would help our parliament.

Hell no. Woman hating wankers sums it up nicely, with a side order of total incompetence. The Scottish Gov is being sued by Biffa for £200 million over the Greens failed deposit return scheme, they've slashed the roads budget and wanted to completely kill the Scottish fishing industry with the protected marine reserve proposals, and have banned new wood burning stoves even in rural areas with unreliable mains services.

I wouldn't vote for them at all after their suggested policy to drive down c section numbers because too many women are having sections. The policy was not to improve healthcare, or employ more midwives, or open more midwife led centres. Nope. Their focus is on reducing life saving interventions.

Women hating wankers.

The greens have really lost their way.

If I had a sensible green candidate (not one of the 'non-men' idiots) , and I lived in a labour/green marginal I still might - because I don't think any party having an overwhelming majority is good for democracy and think there should be a few representatives of the minority parties (not a fan of first past the post).

I don't want to actively disparage the Greens, in the past and at least nationally they are making the right noises. The UK is in such a sorry state it's difficult to know here to start. They are such tame shrews though with no power. Not one mention of legalising and the promotion of electric scooters, and other small electric vehicles and accompanying infrastructure. Seem to have lost their vision. But at least better than the others. Labour will likely win on a protest vote, that they'll think is some endorsement of their 'policies', and we'll end up with nothing new only slightly better than what we have. I wish we had some form of proportional representation. This is the most uninspiring election campaign.

I stopped supporting the greens when I heard them supporting open borders which very much would destroy what's left of our welfare state.
The icing on the cake is their frankly insane support for trans rights above and beyond everything else, even the bloody environment.
It's ironic that my interest in Green peace and the Rainbow Warrior sinking lead me to support them for many years and now the rainbow they display means something so very awfully different.

Hell would freeze over first.

I don't doubt that lots of local GP people are good and have the 'save the world' ethos still, but the higher echelons of the party are either bat shit crazy or liars, neither of which is acceptable in politicians.

I'm a GP member.

You should vote for whoever you want to win. I don't understand people who think that their vote is wasted unless they vote for the winning party
.

I'd vote whoever would get the Tories out.

No, for all the reasons of misogyny and lunacy detailed above.

"It’s greens v conservatives where I am."

Hard to choose between two steaming turd piles

I think it's SNP vs Labour here. I can't vote Tory so it might be Labour to get the SNP out, if I vote at all. I can't abide the gender nonsense.

Indeed

It's SNP versus Tory where I live.

I voted SNP until they were taken in by the TRAs.

I cannot vote Tory because their record in government has been utterly shameful.

I just don't know what to do.
I'll probably vote Labour.
