A Green Party leader to 'welcome politically homeless women'

Well worth reading this article for a bit of perspective on this:

It would make sense to stick around and put the new leaders on notice that we want to support their climate action priorities but need them to recognise our concerns regarding erosion of women's rights.

I’m not sure I can stick around, Shahkar Ali was my last hope for an environmental party and I felt ill joining the party that sheltered the Challenors to vote for him.

It feels like we can do too little and by supporting them it’s taken as agreement to all their policies

Both the winners have their pronouns in their twitter profiles. Not good news.

This is so disappointing. I’ll stick around for a month as requested but I’m not hopeful for the Greens as my new political home.

I’m confused. I thought only one candidate/pair was eliminated per round, but it appears that three were eliminated in the first round.

Given the percentages, you can eliminate all 3 in one go as a shortcut.

Even if every Gunstock and Rothery/Hemingway voter had Ali as second choice, he'd still only have 23% and then still be up for elimination in the third round.

I’m confused. I thought only one candidate/pair was eliminated per round, but it appears that three were eliminated in the first round.

I’m glad at least that Womack and Omond haven’t won, but I can’t support Denver and Ramsay. I can’t see any point in staying a Green Party member - if I ever speak up for what I think is right, I’ll probably be expelled.

I think this is hugely better than Tamsin winning - Tamsin has gone all out on gender in the most grotesque way, the winners have not.

Not good but will stick around for a month or so to see what happens next and where the focus is.

So one fifth of the vote. I got the impression that the womack team were more ott on wokeness (for want of a better word) than the winning pair. Disappointing but not that surprising I suppose.

It's a bloody disappointment. I was hoping for a landslide that would send a signal to the other parties. I guess we're not there yet.

I will ask though for anyone who joined for this to please stay. There are more votes coming up and more we can to do turn the Greens around.

Arse indeed.

However, I'm committed to supporting green women and girls and won't be flouncing.

Oh fucking hell. How disappointing and yet unsurprising.

So women still have no decent voting options.

London is a law unto itself unfortunately. We need everyone's help to deal with the problems there.

If any green members on this thread are in London, there are shenanigans afoot in a regional election as well that you can vote on and help promote a GC candidate within the party

Thanks Carriemac, I know that this did happen to quite a few members and was hoping that you were in fact able to vote.

It would be an interesting question to ask how many recent applicants were not able to vote, with query cases still outstanding. However I don't believe that there was any intention to deprive members of their right to vote. Cheers!

I used an email address I check every day . I check the junk mail too. I was not sent a voting code until I requested it, then chased two days later . It came into my email box then.

There seem to be various things that happened regarding voting.
Some people forgot that they had used a different email to register their application and eventually found their voting code when they checked.
Others hadn't noticed their voting code email within the regular correspondence from the Green Party.
In other cases, neither of the above options appear to have applied and these cases must have happened too. The Officers who were dealing with this problem issued replacement links / codes. However as many people did not raise their concerns until nearing the deadline, there could have been some who either did not realise that they did have the code already or the numbers may have been too high to process all cases before the deadline. On this last aspect I have no concrete information, but understand that this could have applied.
I have personal experience of this too but not in respect of the Leadership election, as I hadn't realised that I'd registered under a different email account I have which shows my name and not a bit of hocus pocus.

Carriemac were you able to vote or did the Officers involved fail to send you a replacement vote in time?

I'm not sure I agree . I had to request my voting code which should have been sent automatically and definitely wasn't . As a new member I felt I was being screened out.

There is definitely no TerfBlocker involved in the elections or membership. Other GC women have joined and voted without any problems at all.

I've spoken to a few members who thought they hadn't been given their votes but eventually found that they had in fact received the email although missed the deadline.
