AIBU to hope the greens do very well today?

That’s it really. go Zack! 💚

It does still exist!

I voted conservative, only because O wanted to show that not everyone where I live has been sucked in by the Greens, Plaid and Reform. I normally vote labour but Welsh Labour are an absolute shambles. It is was either Tories, who don’t stand a chance or spoil my vote. I can’t not vote.

It does exist.

I would never vote for a party that fuels hatred

I have voted Green in the past

but that was before it was a party led by a leader that is happy to play into peoples prejudices to gain votes

Which is exactly what Farage does

Polanski and Farage are one and the same

Why do you think that is?

Blimey. I thought they disbanded in the 80s, replaced by Lib Dems.

Certainly haven't heard much about them in recent times.

Free money and jew hatred.
Neither any good.

Women are not a monolith and they have a range of views, but I could have a conversation with Badenoch about the ins and outs of statutory maternity pay and the impact of its withdrawal on women.

Polanski wants women to be completely removed from equality legislation and policy and human rights analysis.

I don't know, tbh. Because the media is largely very right wing and doesn't want to turn its attention to the anti-semitism in right wing parties?

I'm a Zionist Jew and also support the formation of a Palestinian state. Not sure what the relevance is to any of this?

The Greens are insane - you are very unreasonable ! Reform are hateful. Labour and Conservatives have managed to damage the country so badly that I don't know whether it will recover. We need PR and a mix of parties. I just want a centre party of people who genuinely care about the country and not their own political party.

On MN many people seem to think if you support Palestine you are an antisemite. And Greens support Palestine

If you agree with them that men can become women, then fairly low I'm afraid

For people saying the Greens are 'insane' and 'loonies' can I ask what basis there is for that in their policies?

Because in the UK left wing parties are particularly vulnerable to entryism from organised groups who are explicitly anti-semitic.

The increase in antisemitism in the Green Party is not just random bad luck.

I know it has been normalised, but the whole 'a woman is just an idea in a man's head' thing is rather insane.

All right thanks. Of course, they can accept a five million pound personal donation if they are Farage and apparently he is within his rights to not have declared it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But ie racist people trying to convince themselves that they can't possibly be racist because they vote Green .. that's not cool

I don't, actually. It is impossible to agree with any party 100%.

But on the other hand, I don't have any issues with the existence of trans people. They have been around for a long time.

Right. Yes, that's clearly why.

Interesting that's in quotes, is that in their policies?

So you wouldn't vote for any trans-accepting (not sure of terminology) party regardless of policy, as that makes them insane? Genuine question, sounds sarcastic

Correct!

Cross-dressing men have been around for a while.

Voting for a party that pretends that they're women has never been a good idea though.

What is your view?

Because the antisemites on the left have people who claim to be anti-racist defending them. It therefore obviously becomes more newsworthy.

You do know there are trans men too?
