If you knew the Greens would win in your seat you'd vote for them

[SlothOnARope]

In other words, people don't vote Green mainly because they think they have no chance.

Their manifesto on Education seems to correspond with a lot of views on mumsnet, aibu?

Oh yes, forgot the c section bit

Not in a million month of Sundays would I vote for the MEN, and the NON-MEN! Fuck that! I'd vote for REFORM first.

Sadly, they're no longer about saving the planet. They're about saving fragile male egos from women who say "no, you're not a woman". Canny be doing with that.

Not a chance.

I live in Scotland and the Greens here are wired to the fecking moon.

I have had to experience them in government. They are loons and dangerous.

A vote for the Greens shows that you support protecting the environment, higher taxes on the rich and more investment in health and educacation.

I think voting for them to show you support these things is a positive move, even if they are not going to get in in your constituency. It shows whoever does get in what they have to consider to get your support

No, because they have shared power with the SNP in Scotland and proved themselves to be absolute loonies.

Maybe @boombang but they don't get treated very well by the party. Many have been booted out for their views.

No. Their policies are absolutely ridiculous and any interviews that the leader/deputy has done in the last views weeks have been quite frankly embarrassing to watch. The entire party seems like an absolute shambles. Amateur and infantile politics

Absolutely no chance.

Forcing women to go through vaginal birth by denying them a cesarean section is a weird platform for any party.

See also: men are not women and gaslighting us doesn't make it true.

And fantasy promises like 70% of all UK electricity to come from wind power by 2030 are just horseshit. Why lie?

All of this. ^ They are deluded.

Never.

I am a supporter of any party that will tackle environmental issues and I think that is mostly why people blindly vote for them, completely unaware of the consequences of the rest of the hippie polices they have.

Hell would have to freeze over. Ironically.

They hate women. They indulge paedophiles (google the Challinor saga). They are at the bidding of their major donors, the makers of Lupron.

They can go fuck themselves

Yes but most of society don’t refer to us as ‘non-men’. They’re disgusting, woman hating loons.

Nope, not a chance

The Scottish Greens are a bunch of dangerous loonie zealots.

So no.

Never in a million years!

Not only do they hate women, they are utterly incapable of understanding life outside of large cities, and seems to think that their plans for cities would work everywhere. Bloody clueless!

I would drill holes in my head before I voted for the greens.

YABU - the Green Party have consistently produced manifestos that show quite clearly what they think of people women like me. Maybe if the local candidate was a local force to be reckoned with (we have quite a few high profile environmental things going on locally) I might re-think...but even with a perfect photo op, let alone chance to try and change things for the better the Green candidate is nowhere to be seen or heard of. Actions speak louder than words!

This is all really depressing and doesn't at all fit the description of my local candidate, who is really excellent on local issues and that is what matters to me.

Just reinforces my belief that voting needs to be about policies, not parties and identities, and that this current system we have is absolutely hopeless.

I'll be meeting my local group tomorrow, if they are as batshit as everyone suggests then I really want to just go and live in a cave somewhere.

Ha ha! No, I wouldn't vote for them.

No because I'm Scottish so I've had the experience of them being in a position of power and their incompetence is astonishing - they are even more useless and driven by zealotry than the SNP.

Anyone who looks at what they've done to Scotland and still votes for them needs their head examined

No chance, not happening, no way

But the responses on here largely are about policies. They are crap.

I gather the Greens have hastily backtracked on their awful C-section policy - but for me, it's symptomatic of quite how Gileadish their overall views on women are.

Wouldn't vote for them with a gun to my head, to utilise my brother's comment about the Tories.
