AIBU - GREEN party - Zack Polanski

Ex GP member here.
Not a chance in hell I'll vote for them again. It makes me sad because there's a very real need for a left wing party who are focussed on the environment.

There's clearly a big push to make Hypno Tits popular. My 17 yo asked me what I thought about him the other day. The Greens must be flooding all sorts of social media at the minute and targeting as many different demographics as possible.

If you can lie about men being women, then you'll lie about anything.

I used to vote green as my protest vote because I felt obligated to put a tick somewhere. Now they have started getting more support I will probably stop.

Some of their views are bonkers.

It's clearly important to the Green Party because they have said they don't want GC women voting for them.

There have also been a number of high profile issues within the party as a result of their position on this.

I voted Green back in the day when they were sensible and cared about the environment. I will never vote for them again as they are zealots in thrall to multiple ideologies. They have treated many of their members appallingly and I wouldn’t trust them to organise a piss up in a brewery.

Look up how they fcked up Brighton. You’ll find your answer.
And now Bristol.
Why would I vote for the Greens to run the country when they can't even run a city?

oddly a lot of women go think the "gender" issue ie redefining 51% of the population women so that women no longer means 'adult human female' but 'adult human female and men with special non definable lady feelings' is pretty bloody important

it means the greens would be unable to have any definite policy on women's issues because it would include men, it means they cannot monitor the impact of anything they go on women because their definition includes men

but also it means that the Greens think womanhood is a costume men can pop on, that 51% of the population (women) are a set of gendered stereotypes men can perform

if that they're batshit and insulting about something as fundamental as biological sex I wouldnt trust them to run a bath.

theyve done fuck all to stop Israel murdering Palestinians

Oddly enough, you need to be a Nato member to enjoy the benefit of its protection.

You guys are being fooled by Polanski, he's a slick conman. But it'll split the Labour vote at least.

I've voted Green ever since Starmer took over. I don't agree with some of their policies, particularly trans issues (where they conflict with women's issues). But they have many good policies that I can get behind so they're definitely better than any of the current parties.

You think gender is the most important manifesto issue!

There are several serious parties. Pick one.

Nice try, Zack. Not fooled though.

There’s ’perfect people’ then there’s publicising that you think you can hypnotise peoples tits

Are people really still dragging up that Sun article?!

Anyone who knows anything about trash redtop media knows he was most likely asked to take part in that feature and told what to do / say. Yes it's distasteful but he has apologised for it some time ago and has taken responsibility for his mistake which I personally respect.

I don't think politicians have to be perfect people.

I also think it's unrealistic to find a political party with which you'll agree with unequivocally.

He's obviously doing a very good job of getting dissatisfied voters to sit up and listen talking about real issues that affect the majority in a way that resonates.

Frankly, people's stance on trans doesn't impact the vast majority of people on a daily basis. (The worst affected are probably trans people themselves)

Cost of living, housing, taxation, healthcare, education, transport do.

This exactly. I like what he says and how he deals with the reform people, but he'd throw women and girls under a bus in an instant. I'm glad he's providing a counter weight to reform but I can't actually vote for him.

Shame really as I would love to find a left of centre, environmentally concerned, gender realist, party.

Isn't this the dream @Alquilarque

The Green Party are ok to vote for when it comes to local elections, like when the council want to turn a cricket pitch into housing. The Greens are good to object to those such things.

However, into Government the Greens would be would be lunacy. They’d bankrupt the country within six months , that someone else would have to take over.

Have you heard Zach Polanski speak? He wants open borers his solution on the economy is just to tax rich people.. Labour tried that any many rich people are leaving.

Have you heard about when Zach Polanski said he could hypnotise women to make their breasts grow? Don’t believe me , he even admitted it recently on Question Time.

Oh I do wish we still had the laugh emoji?! I thought exactly the same!

I'm so glad this thread popped up, I had only just been talking about the Green Party with my window cleaner who had told me he had just joined them (for £4?). My window cleaner had zero knowledge of the women's rights/GC issues, (even though he has daughters) but he said he had voted for them for the huge taxation they were planning "on the rich" and for their ecological credentials and also he thought ZP would make a great leader for the UK. I was skeptical but came from the door step to check the Green Party website but struggled to get the info I wanted to see and I certainly couldn't see that their stance on women's rights had changed. I was planning to put a post on here but got distracted. My post was to ask, are the Green Party worth joining/voting for now? And it seems it's still a big fat NO.

But he is either
a - batshit crazy and believes humans can change sex
b - misogynist who believes women don’t deserve tights
c - lying about believing humans can change sex.

these are all very good reasons no one should believe a single word he says.

I was wondering this!

The environment challenge we face is unbelievably complicated and multi dimensional requiring innovative and sometimes hard solutions

if they get distracted by gender issues and can’t tell sex from gender why on earth would I join them ? No credibility at all

I used to vote Green but now it's where all the nutters aggregate, so i would avoid if i were you

I mean, if you look on Reddit, it's where the craziest ones say they'll be heading

Absolutely this!

What I’ve noticed with the Greens and Your Party is they’re a bit like the Respect lot years ago - they’re a Trojan horse for very sinister identity or foreign policies, made to appeal to the less intelligent of the masses by quickly adding at the end ‘and we’ll tax the rich so you can have everything for free’.

The Greens were green once and I supported their eco vigilance.

They have gone down a rabbit hole of madness and causes that are a bit crazy, and have thus lost their founding principles.

That's a no from me now.
