The Scottish Greens are revolting - thread 2

I think Sophster should be reselected. Operation Let Him Speak.

🤣🤣🤣

innocent face

a bit lily livered of the greens to be suspending Sophie now. Presumably they did due diligence on Sophie beforehand so they must have known what they were signing up for? In which case throwing her under the bus now looks like rank cowardice-unless of course they did not do due diligence, but surely, no one, not even the greens are that amateurish or stupid?

My local candidate is great but he's been fed to the lions in our newly-split double-dunter constituencies. He's about 17 (23 but yanno) going up against Bob Seely the tory MP of the current super-constituency, and a very popular local labour guy. Plus the usual whacko brexit / reform / disgraced ex-tory councillor shower.

There aren't really any winnable seats for the Greens under first past the post thank fuck. They average about 8% in polls, in really studenty places they might touch 15% on a good day.

They haven't stood in this seat since 2010 and then they got 1.5% of the vote.

Fraid so. Which is why I am going to suggest some more humiliating things for Sparkles to do.

Please denounce the SGP as transphobic bigots for making you stand down.

Say the Terfs were right in public.

Buy a copy of the Women Won't Weesht book.

Eww. So are we actually feeding this fetish by discussing on this thread??? FFS

I suspect that even if there were more suitable prospective candidates, the Greens would still pick a transgender person, however unsuitable.

Trans visibility, innit.

Amongst other things, I believe Sparkles has a humiliation fetish and now has enough fodder to last for days.

It's the only logical explanation for their constant need for attention

Just realised that if the SGP used what I understand to be the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland (Alba), they would be the AGP, which seems apt.

When this is all over we so need a proper party to just scream and scream until we are sick.

If, even in a seat the the SGP may have judged unwinnable, Sparkles is the best calibre of candidate they can field, it suggests bad things about the party as a whole.

It suggests the party, or at least the numbers active in it, are tiny or they'd have a larger number of prospective candidates almost any one of which would be better than Sparkles. It suggests a degree of capture by people who are comfortable with (or afraid to complain about) rather 'out there' behaviour.

There's group think, a lack of exposure to a spectrum of opinions, in the Greens that, with all the expulsions, looks set to only get worse. Be interesting to see the trantrums and the reactions to the trantrums following the latest news with Sparkles.

Yay. But. I think that if we used the ‘closest to’ rather than the absolute ‘before’ you would have won, Arabella. Shall we split the dill?

Either way, it is a win for Scotland and even for the Green Party.

Can I just say I'm still pretty disturbed by reading that article about Sparkles. It was grim. I feel for the people living in that area of Aberdeen, to have those type of candidates representing them. The pictures of Sparkles also on that campaign march beside Maggie Chapman. The clothes are what a pre teen girl would wear (a wee kitty handbag, something 12 year old me would wear). It gives me the creeps.

Haha well spotted.

I wonder what exactly prompted the suspension? The porn pictures on Tx? The threats? Or did Ms Sparkles stop recycling? That should be an automatic ban from a Green party member...Hmmmm

Will Sophie be triggered by receiving an email from someone with the same surname as a Harry Potter character?

What's happened to the Green Party? Seriously?
Why on earth do they consider that Molly Sparkles person to be an appropriate candidate?
I love Graham Linehan's take on it!

Time to celebrate, but also consider who do we take down next

It is not ‘taking down’ but rather giving sunlight to their activities, letting people see their awful behaviours. Show exactly what the Greens are promoting.

NEWSFLASH - Sparkles suspended from Scottish Green pending investigation.

I can't believe the the Scottish Greens would suspend a member for living their authentic self. Unless he was a man and was lying all along. How can anyone take them seriously after this?

So once again. The TERFS were right. Who knew!

AGP @SophieMolly_SG is getting kicked out the @scottishgreens.

Not only this but has participated in mass reporting of GC accounts for speaking.

#WomenWontWheesht

When you're too porn addicted for even the greens

Once again Scottish Women triumph. Who won the sweepstake?

Time to celebrate, but also consider who do we take down next. Election season has just started. Someone really needs to get to hustings and ask the Scottish Greens why the party is so transphobic? Why kick out members for saying what the exec agree with that Sparkles was a man.
