AIBU to hope the greens do very well today?

Unless of course the British elections are actually being used by certain groups of people for nefarious purposes.

Hope you don't support Reform either then

Not to be trusted. Any of them....

Nope totally honest opinion which it appears many share.

Personally as someone who is a qualified drug worker and who has worked in places where people come in clean and go out with a drug habit - I don't think the UK policy on drugs as it stands is working

There are notorious crime families in Scotland who make millions out of people's misery. I'm not an ageing party kid. I'm someone who has seen the misery drugs do

They absolutely are still focused on green issues. They are a socialist leaning party because many environmentalists argue that socialism is the way to tackle climate change. It is so frustrating to keep seeing people going 'well they don't talk about the environment anymore', it just shows complete ignorance on the subject.

We cannot tackle the climate crisis with our current system of barely regulated capitalism. We need a system change in order to tackle the climate, which is exactly what they are doing. It's completely in line with environmentalism. There's an interesting short book on the subject, Ecosocialism by Michael Löwy.

Also anyone calling him 'Dave' just shows they're completely acting in bad faith.

Could you explain how legalising all drugs is going to take supply out of the hands of criminals?

Is a Green led government planning to buy all the drugs produced by the drug producers?

What infrastructure/state mechanisms/laws would be required to achieve that without vast amounts of collateral damage (ie deaths) on the way?

Do you feel like the Greens have a well researched and coherent policy on this or have they just continued their student politics and are saying whatever they think will appeal to ageing party kids?

That's putting it mildly, really.

At worst a dodgy scam designed to prey on women's insecurities.

No people on mn support green issues, want to stop global warming.... have you heard Dave mention a single green issue? The party has been hijacked by the left. I've never been a fan because I think they would ruin the country should they get into power, you only have to look at the damage caused to Bristol by a green council. But they lobbied well and presented a reasoned debate to save the environment....now they are basically momentum by a different name

That it's at best completely bonkers?

I think it's his clearly expressed desire to dismantle women's rights by removing them from equality law that is causing concern.

Hmm - Zack Polanski wants to nationalise key industries, wants to remove opposing views (for example questioning whether right-wing or far-right individuals should be included in society), hates capitalism, blames the problems of society and the economy on millionaires and the Jews, oh and is also a vegetarian.

Now who does he remind me of?

All he's missing is a funny little moustache....

Mind your own business.

He's not sticking up for women's rights if he's saying that men become women and can be in women's spaces. He's enabling men.

Yes, he never claims he didn't do it at all. What's your point?

The clinic where he worked certainly claims to have offered this service.

I'm not sure what you think posting this link achieves? What's your point?

For anyone who hasn't heard about Hypotits's claim -

Yes.

Re: maternity rights and leaving aside what KB did or didn't say, if a Green
government takes away women's protections in equality law that leaves the field much more open for a far right government to carry on the job of dismantling women's rights.

Nothing to say that it can't all be a joint effort.

Yep. Both too extreme!

Here is Zack on Radio Humberside:

Yep, Corbyn's new party with Zarah Sultana seems to have sunk without trace.

Can't imagine why! 😬
