To think the Green Party and esp its Deputy Leader is a real worry for women

[CraftyTaupeBee]

Over the last few months I have watched with incredulity the rise of the Green Party in the polls and wondered if I am alone in this. Mothin Ali their Deputy publicly celebrated Oct 7th (which he then apologised for) and has been seen this week at an event mourning the death of the Ayatollah. I am not anti any religion but his wife is fully covered in a niqab and I feel despite what others say to have a woman's face fully covered is a tool of oppression and not something I would want in a leader as a value set. I realise others may not feel this way and it is not meant to be offensive but the facts are there.And recently a female spin doctor for the Greens alleged that rape had not taken place on Oct 7th. To me the Green Party is reminiscent of what happened in 1979 and something that ultimately affected women's rights drastically (as well as any other rights of the gay community and others). The soft left (much like the Greens) allowed the strict islamic vote to take hold and look where they ended up. This really worries me for the country. Am I the only one? And why does the Green Party seem to be so anti west and anti white. I realise Zack Polanksi is gay and jewish and they are strange bedfellows but it feels like a trojan horse mindset and not something I want for my western liberal feminist girls. In fact it feels anti feminist?

I rejoined the green party after I realised how far right Labour were leaning but I do feel uneasy about what seem to be their priorities (last time I was a member they were hot on women's rights and the environment). I suppose maybe it's also a case of what the media focus on?

Green Party leader who charged women money and pretended to make their chests bigger.

Also openly says that women have penises.

These people are basically rabid Marxists and anti semites using Muslims and Gaza to pretend they care.

Anyone who votes for them is either intellectually challenged or basically dodgy too.

If you put even 1 minute of effort into researching the first line of this you’d know this isn’t the story at all. By all means dislike Zach Polanski if you wish, but at least base it on facts.

He’s also Jewish

The leadership are dangerous idiots. No better than Farage and his ilk.

If we want nutty far right / far left parties dominating politics in our country, we are going in the right direction. Personally, I find it terrifying.

“He’s also Jewish” is just like the racist saying “actually my best friend is black”. So what that he’s Jewish! It doesn’t stop him from being an antisemite!

I have put more than one minute into it and Polanski still doesn't come off well.
But even if you ignore the whole hypnoboobs thing, he has presided over and encouraged horrendous treatment and bullying of female members of the Greens.
I left the Green Party over it. He is a demogogue with absolutely fuckall realistic policies. It's a shame because the Greens need an actual green leader but Polanski is not it.

I agree......greens have turned into a regressive mess

Greens that I know are hard working, pleasant and friendly people who do small things that make the local communities better. When a lot of people do a little bit each, a difference can be made. Positivity for the future spreads slowly to others. The world is in a desperate state - doing something for the Greens should surely be interpreted as a good thing in my opinion.

Our local Green Party people are good sorts who care about green issues.

But the national party is something else. It’s gone both trans activist and (oddly) Islamist in its attitude.

Given the bedfellows, i don’t think it has any female interests at heart.

YANBU. They are very much anti-women. That’s because they think a woman is something a man can become.

So they are delusional too.

They think lesbians should include men (who say they’re women) in their dating pool.

Misogynstic, homophobic, crazy people. No thanks.

They do have a very skilled social media team though.

Why did he change his name? Isn't the name changing bad enough without all the bonkers policies? Amazed any sane person would ever vote for the Greens now.

I disagree with the greens on some of their economic policies, however they are the only socially liberal party that it’s possible to vote for so they’ll probably get my vote.

@leafstampThat simply isn’t true. Lots of women activists out there who wouldn’t stand for that nonsense!

The BBC has reported that these are inaccurate claims that have resulted in death threats against Mothin Ali.

Mothin Ali their Deputy publicly celebrated Oct 7th (which he then apologised for) and has been seen this week at an event mourning the death of the Ayatollah.

I'm so much more worried about Reform wanting to reduce the abortion time limit and "reset the sexual culture". They are a far bigger threat to women and our rights.

This.

But hates Jews himself ...

I too know lots of good hearted Greens. It doesn’t mean their policies aren’t downright terrifying. I wonder how the good hearted Greens get around the policies thing though. Because if any good hearted Greens came to my door I’d be asking them to justify the batshittery of their policies, and I’d like to see them try to defend the indefensible.

It is true. A group of their own female members are currently taking them to court for illegal discrimination against women and they've been in hot water several times already for discriminating against members who say men aren't women.

He changed his name partly because he had the same Christian name as his stepfather who he hated & partly to a Jewish name as he became closer to his faith, his surname is the Jewish name his ancestors had before they emigrated to the UK during the war before changing it to Paulden to appear more English. Many refugees & families from Europe who escaped to Britain changed their names to blend in, my mum's uncle was Italian, already living here before war broke out but changed their name to Vincent when it looked like there would be a war to avoid internment.

I joined the Green Party from Labour after they removed the Winter Fuel Allowance & introduced the Family Farm Tax. I'm not worried about their views of women's rights, I'm more worried about the rise of Reform & the fact that Labour are moving further to the right. I fully support the Green policy of wealth taxes to support education, the NHS & the less well off in society & the fact they want to clean up our rivers & seas & make clean energy produced in our own country cheaper for domestic consumers. If they were to come to power I feel more hopeful that having to choose between heating & eating would become a thing of the past. Increasing taxes on energy & water companies, cutting fatcat bonuses & a wealth tax of 1% on assets over a million pounds & 2% on assets over a billion would make such a difference, assets such as bricks & mortar are impossible to transfer out of the country rather than income which can easily be moved abroad. To me the Green Party just want a fairer society which is what the Labour Party used to stand for before they moved first to the centre ground before moving to the right since the new government came in. I really hope that the far left MP's of the Labour Party defect to the Green Party as there really isn't anything left for them under Keir Starmer & his cabinet.

I’m far more worried about women’s rights with Reform and Tories, in fact those influenced by the new US ideology.

Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing, hope that helps

Please don't tell a Jewish woman that 'Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing' Hope that helps you.
