The Green Party are an unelectable bunch of extreme soundbites and not environmental at all

[WhereAreTheTrueGreens]

The Green Party are more and more extremist. The latest is that supporting the right to Jewish self determination (Zionism) is now racist.

The Green Party are a million miles from the Green Party I voted for years ago. Now full of men that think they are women, accusing people that believe in self determination for their own people as racist. They appear unable to see the division and racism of their own party. Many antisemitic tweets from their members over the last few years.

AIBU

The Green Party are long gone to a bunch of extreme individuals with not a chance of being elected party.

I really hope so, unfortunately I fear that it's just the outspoken nutters in one place. The other nutters are smart enough not to openly state their hateful views
and stay hidden.

🙄

Thunderdome! Two authoritarian ideologies enter, one authoritarian ideology leaves!
I’d actually pay good money to watch them slug it out.

On a more serious note, if anyone wants a real eye opener, The News Agents podcast went to the Green conference before the vote went through. It’s the episode Special Report: Has Zack Polanski Peaked?

Holy shitballs 😬

The episode after the vote is absolutely scathing.

Yes, it is. I listened to both yesterday and my eyes blinked so much out of sheer incredulity I had to rest them for a bit afterwards.
In other related news, hopefully this is a sign that the rats are starting to abandon ship-

A switch from Green to Tories? That's interesting. Glad he's seen the light.

That is an interesting swap. There seems to be a few Suffolk councillors going. I wonder if Adrian Ramsey will go as an MP. He said not, but he looked absolutely shattered.

Julie Bindel’s report was even more eye- opening. It’s on her Substack and as a podcast - not sure if it’s paywalled. (I subscribe to Ms Bindel to support feminist journalism).

Hmmn. Neither a cat nor a girl!

These men make me want to cringe myself out of my skin.

It’s a weird one, isn’t it? I’d have thought Lib Dem or Burnham bounce Labour would have been the more obvious choice, the Tories is certainly a curveball. Then again back in January this Green councillor defected to Reform, but at least that’s a two cheeks of the same arse scenario.
Green councillor defects to Reform

I think it more likely that they are unhappy in their skin than you, and that's the issue that needs addressing. ( No pun intended)

Yes I'd have thought Lib Dem too. Maybe they forgot about them? The Lib Dems offered an open invitation to Greens who wanted to move over too.

That’s for him to manage. I’m not playing along that he’s either a cat or a woman.

Just goes to show what a disparate bunch of cranks and oddballs the Greens actually are. As we’ve already noted in this thread, one of the party’s big weaknesses is its lack of coherence, and that’ll probably be its ultimate downfall.
If Polanski crashes and burns in today’s by-election, and today’s latest polling has put him 16% behind the Labour candidate, will the 2026 conference be seen in future as the point where the Green Party’s salad days started to wilt? 🥬

Not surprised at all.

"Green behind Zionism vote is ‘good friend’ of al-Qaeda terrorist
Exclusive: Party member offered to testify in defence of Heathrow bomb plotter"

They always seem to be whanging on about a conflict thousands of miles away and don't appear interested in what actually happens here in the country they ar supposed to represent. They are mob like and fortunately many normal people have realised that now.

This man’s mental health problems need treating, but that’s a problem for him and his therapist.

This.

Yet here we are in the UK with a political party that has antisemitism openly displayed.

I totally support a Jewish state. The only democratic country in the region. I randomly travelled there on my own for my 40th birthday, single West African female and I fell in love!

This is the type of person that the current Green party appear to love. Close friend of a terrorist.

They are more concerned with middle east politics than what goes on here. They could just pack up and move there and attempt to improve politics in the middle east since that's all they blabber on about now (apart from trans ideology stuff, which is wanning in popularity).

I understand though that they aren't allowed to just say they are the Islamic party, at least it would be more honest.

Good grief - thanks for sharing - awful and surprise, surprise violence urged.

I love the way he "bleeped out" the word Zionist.

Sometimes I worry about the civil war to come; sometimes I think they won't be able to come out of their parents' basements without their support animals and a guarantee that we won't be allowed to use hurty words.

Hmm? Men who can’t cope with hurty words versus men from cultures where fighting is viscous and without rules. Hard to call that one!

Got a kicking tonight. Nice one rationale voters, from everyone else.
