Green Party Elections - Candidates who know what sex is

It should be fine so long as you put Tamsin and Amelia last - and preferably put RON (re-open nominations) before them.

I've just noticed a typo in earlier information. For those who (like me) copy and paste addresses, the email to keep in touch with other Green Feminists who know that sex matters is [email protected]

WarriorN, that looks like good news. Most of the candidates I voted for (because they are concerned for the environment rather than identity politics) were elected. Sorry to see Taymar Pitman didn't get in this time, but delighted to see Julia Lagoutte as publications co-ordinator.

Thanks to all genuine environmentalists who stood, and congratulations to those who were elected.

It's when you don't want your vote to be redistributed in the next round.

Well, it's more than that, it's specifically voting to re-open nominations once your other choices are out, rather than abstaining.

RON can win, which means a new election.

Slow typing!

Re-open nominations. It's when you don't want your vote to be redistributed in the next round.

RON is Reopen Nominations - it’s what you put if you don’t like any of the remaining choices.

RON? Who or what is it?

Copied from elsewhere:

For those of you interested in statistics, here is the percentage breakdown for each position:

E&D coordinator: Rashid Nix & Zi Neil 66.4%, Ash Routh 32.3%, RON 1.3%.

Finance coordinator: Jon Nott 95.2%, RON 4.8%.

Internal comms coordinator: Zoe Hatch 59.2%, Alexander Sallons 39.7%, RON 1.1%.

Local party support coordinator: Duncan Kerr 16.1%, Daniel Laycock & Lyndsay McAteer 19.1%, Tay Pitman 17.4%, Rosie Rawle 47%, RON 0.4%.

Policy development coordinator: Vix Lowthion 94.3%, RON 5.7%.

Publications coordinator: Rachel Collinson & Kathryn Bristow 48%, Julia Lagoutte 50.9%, RON 1.1%.

The last one is interesting.

This is SA debating if he's transphobic or not extremely well, specifically about the fact that sex data is important for appropriate treatment of trans people

Hopefully this bodes well for the leadership

Sorry GoogleMum, I was tidying up my formatting so didn't see your post. I have to go out now so maybe you can spread the goodish news on the myriad of other threads.

GPEx election results in.

Equality and Diversity Co-ordinator

Winners are Rashid Nix and Dzaier Neil.
Finance Co-ordinator

Winner is Jon Nott.
Internal Communications Co-ordinator

Winner is Zoe Hatch.
Local Party Support Co-ordinator

Winner is Rosie Rawle.
Policy Development Co-ordinator

Winner is Vix Lowthion.
Publications Co-ordinator

Winner is Julia Lagoutte.
Policy Development Committee

Winners are Nick Cox, Edward Gildea, and Vix Lowthion.

So apart from Rosie Rawle getting in, it seems a good result.

KB and token XX sidekick did not manage to unseat Julia Lagoutte.

Poor KB will have to consider sueing again.

I wonder what the leadership candidates will make of that.

Results came via an email link and you have to be logged into the member's site to see it.

Results are in for executive vote (leadership is still open to voting!)
I didnt join in time for this one but it looks like most of the suggestions at the start of this thread got their positions, only one that didn't was Taymar Pitman.

I don't know enough about the candidates to know the implications of this, but overall probably good news?

^ whether you write in your last choice or not

I voted Shahrar Ali in first place but I thought you had to give every candidate a number so I gave Tasmin Osmond the last number.

It doesn't make any difference you write in your last choice or not. They're never going to get your vote. They're your sixth choice either way, and you'll always be voting against them.

Dammint I voted wrong

I voted Shahrar Ali in first place but I thought you had to give every candidate a number so I gave Tasmin Osmond the last number.

@GreenGretel , do you know how much this will affect scores if lots of people have made the same mistake I have? I hate to think that I've bumped up an anti-woman candidate.

Thank you NecessaryScene

Voted. Thanks, GreenGretel.

I haven't quite got my head around the voting system yet: you mentioned the rounds and the votes being redistributed but do we only get to vote the one time?

You submit your preference order once.

The counting has rounds, and your preference order is used to express your vote in each round.

In each round, your vote is counted for your highest-ranked candidate still remaining. It's as if you were there voting in multiple rounds.

Once your first choice is eliminated - and only then - your vote goes to your second choice (if they're still in).

Listing second-choice or later candidates cannot hurt your first choice.

Listing all candidates (or equivalently all but one) guarantees you vote in every round.

I don't know if there is special handling of RON. Maybe there is. I would have thought it made sense to rank 3. RON, 4. Gunstock, 5. Denyer+Ramsey, but maybe they've got a special rule to discourage use of RON - can't rank people below it?

(Didn't manage to join the Greens, so not seen their detailed rules - I just know about voting systems...)

Thank you GreenGretel.

Thank you for starting this thread and for the explanations.

I've completed mine.

Received the link this morning and went for option 1 above
