The Green Party is captured, where now?

New username, because of the stalking happening.

The Green Party is dead. Ali, Bateman, all being illegally harassed, and now they want to expel anyone that signs petitions supporting women's rights.

I've resigned today, I'd joined to vote for the leader but everything has gone wrong since then.

Should we join Labour, to support Rosie Duffield? Or is that a mountain we can't climb?

There's the SDP, too. They are small, but that be a good thing. There's local elections coming up, the more of us that could stand as candidates and use it as a platform to tell everyone where we live, the better?

The only other thing I can think of is that we start our own new party that focuses entirely on feminism. Like the Womens Equality Party was supposed to.

FPTP means getting new parties going is incredibly difficult. A new party would be a waste of time and resources, I can't see it happening. Look at all the effort put into WEP.

The Soc Dems are too small to make a difference I think.

Either focus on other non political aspects of campaigning for GC stuff or if you like a fight the best option is still battling within left parties.

The situation inside the Greens will not be clear till after spring conference there is a bunch of GC motions to vote up and misogynistic motions to vote down. That is why they are attacking Emma and Ali they can see how powerful GC people are getting.

"Spring Conference is 4 - 6 March, entirely online and there are important motions to support - Disaffiliation from Stonewall; Ensuring Sex & Gender are Not Conflated. And to oppose - Queerphobia. Cost is £45; £25 low-waged; £10 unwaged. So do attend if you can! And would be great to see you all at Green Party Women events and EGM."

If there is enough GC people at conference [it is digital] they can win this. Even if they lose it is way way better to be expelled than resign. Why because the publicity will be awful. It way way is better that a few thousand GC members all get expelled at once while the Green party bursts into flames behind them as they go.

As for Labour. It is tougher than the Greens, but there are definite possibilities, especially now Blair has come out as basically on side. There are still thousands of Labour dinosaurs and witches in the party. Basically it is stalemate as Starmer doesn't want to alienate either side. More people needed for sure. That way we can hope to move forward within the party. We need better organisation.

I know its beyond galling but Conservative for women are very active in openly discussing womens rights and what we need.

Womens rights are a hill I am willing to die on and unless one of the other parties do a you turn I will be voting for the Tories in May.

I think Labour are lost.
