Any Green Party voters care to answer this?

Yes - I have considered voting for the Green Party but am disgusted by antisemitism in it. The antisemitism problems in it have made me reconsider voting for it.

Well we've already had someone defending antisemitic posts on a other thread so doubt this would change many minds.

Sadly, there are always defenders of antisemitism, along with minimisers and whataboutery or deflecting posters. Plenty of them who don't see or care about their hatred.

This is incredibly concerning. Racism to Jews is clearly not only tolerated, but mainstream within the Green Party. How can anyone vote for them with a clean conscious on this basis?

Many Jewish people are apparently now making plans to leave the UK. I suspect a lot will emigrate to Israel, for reasons of safety. I don't blame them, the UK is becoming more and more antisemitic. The irony is that the vile comments and attacks are just strengthening Israel.

Yes, I agree. Thousands of Jews have left France because of rising antisemitism. The numbers leaving in recent years have accelerated.

The demographic changes coming down the line are making many of them think they need to get out of Europe before it's too late. Very sad.

The fact she hasn't been suspended seeks volumes.

Is there a Synagogue in her potential constituency? Would she be okay with it being attacked?

Edited

Yes, she probably would be.

It's deeply anti-Semitic bilge. As are some posters on this thread.

It's all rather worrying, and simply proves (again & again) why Jews all over the world need Israel, as a homeland and place of safety.

Good lord. Another one? The Greens aren't going to have any councillors left at this rate.

"The Daily Express reports that there are a number of allegations against Browning including allegedly sending inappropriate messages to underage girls.
These claims initially emerged on social media.
The Scottish Greens said they have reported the allegations to the police.
Several women claimed that Browning messaged them with sexually inappropriate comments while known as Evan."

Man who thinks he is a woman sends inappropriate messages to underage girls. Man is memeber of the Green Party. Man should be referred to as a man. These crimes were committed by a man. The Greens appear to welcome a number of people with strange views and behaviours...... do they have any nice ones?

Trans Green candidate in Glasgow suspended for sending sexually explicit messages to a minor. It's never the ones you think, is it?

The green party are utterly disgusting but they are suddenly getting popular by apeasing to extreme left wingers. Its the only way they will get noticed, by going down that route of utter hate and ignorance.

I would go further and say they are fascist. They expose the views of the nazi party including scapegoating Jews. They are very dangerous.

Do political parties not vet candidates anymore? Or do they just not care if they're racist.

For so-called Reform that's a feature not a bug

I would be appalled except it is from the Daily Mail and therefore cannot be trusted as a piece of journalism. I also think Polanski has a much tighter whip and vetting on his party members and candidates than some other parties so the chances of this being truth are very slim.

You think all the screenshots of the tweets are fake? And the ones of the other candidates, and the co-leader?

He may indeed have a tighter whip, but there seems little will to purge the party of those with nasty views. Candidates were told to delete dubious social media posts, rather than be informed that they were no longer to stand or even be allowed in the party.

Yes. The side of respecting everyone whatever their origin..
Clearly you have a problem with that.
🤔

Of course I don't. There's a massive amount of people from a sizeable minority in this country who do have a problem with that, though.

Sort yourself out Green Party. There is no place for this hatred here. Who the heck votes for individual's like this. Condoning violence, sick person needs deselection.

"A terror attack on a synagogue was “not anti-semitism” but was “revenge” for Israel “murdering people,” according to a video promoted by a Green Party council candidate.

Sabine Mairey, a Green candidate for Clapham Town ward in Lambeth, south London, posted the video, by David Spevak, an American Jewish anti-Zionist, on her Facebook page last month. It’s still there at the time of writing."

EdithStourton · 20/04/2026 12:04

they are being funded
Oh, the Jews operate conspiracies, do they? (Antisemitic trope as old as the bloody hills.)

Pro Israeli Jews are very racist indeed
The Jews despise non-Jews, do they? (Antisemitic trope as old as the hills.)

the whole idea of Israel is racist
The Jews aren't allowed a country, are they? Other national groups are, but not them. Different rules for Jews! (Obvious antisemitism.)

Get a bloody grip - on reality, not your copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

CoffeeCantata · 20/04/2026 10:37

The green party can't be antisemitic their leader is a Jewish man , pretty sure this was the argument for why Ukraine didn't have a nazi battalion or nazi problem because Zelensky is Jewish. Sadly racism and anti Muslim hatred is actually being pushed by pro Israeli jews and other Zionists in the west to normalise the racist Israeli regime. Look at who owns GB news and who he is married too, look at the recent news Jewish Sharon Osborne being dropped by a homelessness charity for supporting Tommy Robinson, look how every vocal anti Muslim politician praises Israel, they are being funded. Pro Israeli Jews are very racist indeed, in fact the whole idea of Israel is racist and so is the idea of a "chosen people" in an ancient book who can just come and ethnically cleanse a whole population who were actually in the land before Abraham came there from Iraq according to their own book.

Shocking rubbish. I've read exactly this sort of thing in researching Nazi Germany.
