Scottish Greens find a candidate more electorally suicide than Sparkles

Yup, Wadhwa is back!

Aiming to stand as a candidate on the Edinburgh list for the socttish parliament next year.

No explanation or mention of Edinburgh rape crisis, of course. Wadhwa is trans, so cannot possibly be expected to explain Wadhwa's actions with public money like any CEO would have to. No idea how anybody in the greens expects this to play out - maybe they are just hoping nobody will notice???

DRS. Obviously.

The past few years' history of the Scottish Green Party will provide a fascinating study at some point in time, of how one extremist ideology invades, takes over the host organisation, and destroys it.

I haven't even got to the absolute and utter shitshow they've made of supposed environmental matters.

I'd be here all night.

I'm off to bed before anyone says 'deposit return'.

Every time I go past one of those DBS units outside Aldi, I want to bloody kick it. What an enormous waste of time and money.

'Green councillor has been cleared of breaching a code of conduct by calling gender-critical people “Nazis”.
Councillor Elaine Gallagher said “extremists” had attended a Let Women Speak rally in the centre of Glasgow and linked the crowd to the murders and attempted suicides of trans people.'

What in the name of God is the Rainbow Greens party?

Well, they are certainly colourful.

Content warning - which I don't even know how to describe. Nappies. Adult nappies.

Putting this man forward as a candidate isn’t just doubling down, it’s a slap in the face to every woman who’s spoken up. It’s a clear, defiant message, a declaration of war, they're saying we’ve heard your concerns, and we’re ignoring them.
They're not just brushing aside women’s voices; they’re actively choosing to bulldoze over them. Once again, men’s wants are treated as non-negotiable, no matter the harm, no matter the cost, the environment doesn't get a look in.

Yes. They're letting a man stand who was criticised for his treatment of rape survivors.

' failed to behave professionally '
'“did not understand the limits of her authority” and the needs of survivors were not prioritised.'

A subset of the green party. Kind of like the candidates. Who are mostly subsets of men.

I don't think we are even on their RADAR. There were a bunch of Scots Greens replying to one of the Fox Killer's posts on bluesky and they are so self-obsessed and self-regarding they honestly think that the electorate is just gagging for more candidates like this. It's why SG are going to whop the SNP and Labour in the polls. Apparently!

I can't believe they can be so deluded. The average person, if they even hear about this sort of thing, will be pushed to the right, while die hard leftists are politically homeless.

I've voted Green several times in the past, but this is the final nail in the coffin for me. Never again, even if they get sensible leaders in! The contempt they've shown for women is actually upsetting.

Ah well spotted! Yep, priorities all wrong clearly. They need to rename themselves the Scottish Trans party or something...

How about Scottish Pink and Blue Party?

INeedAPensieve · 24/06/2025 20:39

ArabellaScott · 24/06/2025 17:00

Not a single one of those candidates mention any of those issues.

My issue with him is more that he's a straight up liar (ERCC occupational requirement), that even the SNP weren't women hating enough for him during the Forensic Medical Examiners Services Bill and he presided over a culture at ERCC which caused rape survivors harm.

He's an absolute piece of shit.

This. He’s vile.
