Green Party candidate sticks up for women

Sorry just finished reading thread and realised you will join to be able to vote for the people that are sensible so ignore me!

Maybe this has been mentioned but I was on twitter earlier and there are several Green Party members who fail to come up with the definition of women/woman when asked. I wouldn’t rush to be joining them just yet.

I've just joined on the strenght of these 2 candidates. First time in my life I've been motivated to join a political party. I was literally just saying to my mum a few days ago that there was almost nothing the greens could do to win back my vote - but here they are. Let's get these two elected, then we can trash out the details later. Even though the greens will never get elected, but if one party takes a brave and principled stance on this it may give other the courage to do the same. We need high profile people on board with this. We need a critical mass of people not afraid to say the emperor has no clothes, so others can feel safe doing the same.

Third spaces?

[quote OhHolyJesus]@highgame good point about the membership but you can just cancel the DD after joining and voting so they could crow about it but membership could go sharply down again.

If anyone decides to join and we end up with TRAs as leaders then don't forget to cancel your direct debit and we'll have to start our own bloody party.

WEP v2. The GC Edition.

we will fight for the rights of trans people according to their assigned gender, too

That is a good point. What does this mean, exactly? Is it just rephrasing self ID?

Can anyone point me to more information about Shahrar and Andrea? Am tempted to join so that I can vote, but don’t know enough about either of them. I assume it’s only possible to vote for one

You can vote for both, Shahrar for leader and Andrea for deputy.

Does that mean TWAW and can use women’s facilities? Or only of they have a GRC? That’s the same as the legal position now, isn’t it?

I've grappled with this a lot. I have never joined a party but always voted.

I used to be libdem but can't see any GC libdem anywhere.

Considered WEP. But greens also have policies I agree with.

In feminist circles they're either labour or green as far as I can tell.

Sceptical but do hope the strategy works

The TRA's are reading this and joining in their droves

This is not about them getting into office though, is it. It’s about loosening the stranglehold that TRAs have on the parties.

Well, I had a look on betfair and they only have odds on the three bigger parties.

Thank you for starting this thread. I've just joined the Greens

Does anyone know how to register on their web site. I can see where to login, reset password but not register in the first place.

Shall leave it 24hrs incase they get in touch.

Fingers crossed for Shahrar Ali

No thanks

I'm in two minds about joining to vote.

They are so utterly woke I'm not sure that they are electable in their own leadership battle and I dont want my money to then help towards their propaganda.

Are there any polls to know whose likely to win?

I’m in Scotland. If I join can I vote or is it only those who live in E&W?

while it's been capitulating to the apologists for the Challenors, I wouldn't touch it.

I know a little from GC members about how much they tried to deal with this better but were silenced.

I've just joined. I'll be able to vote as I checked.

I've never joined a party before and had been dithering over the greens. As I know so many who are members! And they've been talking about this coming up. This prompted me to join.

There are many, many GC greens working tirelessly behind the scenes to try to change things. We need more gc women on board to make those changes.

I've been told that you can join and cancel the £3 direct debit later on if it's too much in the current crisis to join for a full year.

Good plain English too - perhaps it's more obvious to someone from an ethnic minority background how important that is rather than the obfuscatory language and faux confusion of some of the other candidates?

It really isn't complicated.
