Greens adopt policy treating Zionism as racism (part 2)

Burnham said exactly that last week. Just eyelashes and t shirt, my arse. He really means business.

Not sure he does mean business

It could easily be that he knows the just have to ditch it because of one state stuff but not ditch the whole racist rhetoric that was also in that motion.

Therefore the Greens can ditch the policy but still be as nasty as they like.

Once the policy is ditched labour would still be collaborative with some very nasty people if a coalition happened

I’m not sure he’s that stupid. They’ve told us all who they are and it won’t be quickly forgotten. Decent people will desert the Greens and where will they go?

My feeling is that most of those leaving will go to Labour. I think the birth of a new party is unlikely. I feel desperately sorry for longstanding Green members seeing their party destroyed like this. Caroline Lucas must be devastated.

I think I was more pissed off when the same people made Labour unelectable and we ended up with way more years of Tory government than we might have done.

If the Omnicausal herd that left Labour to go to the Greens, sometimes via Your Party, now move back to Labour, won't the same problem arise?

Unless Labours fixers can head them off or eject them once they'be become members.

Then they would have to find a new prey entity or form their own party.

I quite agree, it must be upsetting for her. It’s clearly also upset the Green MPs. And i think you may well be right that a lot of Green voters may now switch their support to Labour.

Well quite.

Exactly. I think some posters are somewhat naive about what will happen.

David Collier has written his account of the Green Party conference

Thanks for that, Noble. Now tell me I’m naive @Ereshkigalangcleg.

And yet, some posters were considering switching to the greens from Labour, lest we forget....

If that was supposed to be some kind of gotcha yes I was - when Carla Denyer was joint leader. It was a completely different party then.

He said he wanted to try to amend it to advocate for a two state solution. I bet if he does that he will be ousted. Because that's not extreme enough to drive the people out of the party they want driven out. The 200000 people who have travelled in from Momentum, Your Party etc won't want to be just the same as everyone else. They know Israel isn't going anywhere so it's a forever war they can fight. At this point it will just be interesting to see them go full Trotskyist/ Muslim Brotherhood ( both of whom use entryists tactics to eject opposition and further their aims) and watch it play out. History tells us that the Hard Left always collapse into infighting and purity spirals. They will have enabled an Islamist hardline party with all that entails for women and LGBT but since they would have bullied all the moderates out of the party they will be on their own, having as usual, enabled fascists. Luckily 200,000 people is not a large enough group of people to have an impact nationally, and at least they are all in one loony bin together.

What exactly did you imagine I was saying? My point is that Labour will need the Greens however mad they are. I’ve read that report. It’s shocking.

And no it was not “a completely different party” then. They purged their feminist members for standing up for women’s rights. They encouraged the entire far left of Labour to join.

There was a lot of approval for the Greens on MN.

Yes, there was. Funny how these same posters are now outraged at what's come out at the greens conference.

So he hasn't bailed out and has carried on his purpose in the same vein. Thanks for sharing. The women in that party and/or the remaining Jews really need to evacuate the sewer.

..while slating Reform/Restore for harbouring misogyny and racism. Nothing less than the usual double standards.

I think there's plenty of people out there who see them as two cheeks of the same arse.
