A Green Party leader to 'welcome politically homeless women'

A candidate in the Green Party election contest wants to welcome back women who have been left politically homeless by the assault on sex-based rights.

I'd urge any Green-minded people to join or re-join the party by 27th Aug in order to vote for Shahrar Ali. You can join (if only temporarily) for as little as £13 here: join.greenparty.org.uk/

Shahrar Ali stands a good chance of winning, having previously been deputy leader and gaining 24% of first-preference votes in 2020. He is speaking up unequivocally for women's sex-based rights. You can read his full statement on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/ShahrarAliGreenParty/posts/190051301345352.

He is also in the Guardian here: www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/aug/17/green-transgender-rights-row-leadership-shahrar-ali-sian-berry

If Shahrar wins, he will be the first leader of a British political party willing to stand up to gender identity ideology.

So, if he gets in, he'll be Patrick Harvie's boss?

That'll be interesting.

Most interesting.

I used to have a lot of time for the Green Party when they were focused on sorting out environmental issues.

But if they want a chance at being in power surely other policies are also important, not every stance they need to decide on relates back to the environment.

Thank you! I will temporarily join just to vote for him, I reckon that’s £13 well spent.

hope he gets in and other so called left parties are taking note especially around how sucessful you can be when you actually listen to and care for women
