What would it take to vote for the Green Party? (If you don’t already!!)

[Redkamishibai]

I’m just learning about the Green Party and forming my own view of it. I can see some quite big changes they would need to capture my vote but I wondered what other people thought? Would your children encourage you to vote green and if they did would you follow their encouragement?

I don’t have kids. But I won’t even consider voting for a party unless I know they’re going to protect women’s sex-based rights.

For them to understand human biology.

They would have to protect women’s sex based rights, stop calling us “non men” and show they’ve taken on board the recommendations from their Challenor investigation

It’s very difficult to take them seriously as they don’t seem to like women very much.

For them to know the difference between men and women and to acknowledge why it matters.

For them to commit to upholding the sex-based rights of women.

They'd need to get off the crazy train and issue a massive apology to women.

For them to understand what a woman is (hint: not non-men)

A frontal lobotomy

They need to stop throwing women under the bus.

PR as our voting system. Would vote for them no question then.

They would have to understand what a woman is and they would have to apologise for the Challenor fiasco and their handling of it. They would need to show that they now understand safeguarding

Eugh. Sorry OP your thread has been taken over by people who are against trans people having rights.

What would it take for me to vote Green? Proportional representation. Without that it would be a wasted vote. With PR I'd seriously consider it.

They need to take safeguarding seriously. Also ditch the anti scientific gender woo and the casual misogyny.

What a pity this thread has been hijacked by the anti-trans people, or whatever they are.

Things to consider about a Green vote - assuming you care about tackling climate change:

It's not a wasted vote. Even if you are in a safe Tory or Labour seat, the more votes the Greens get the more funding they get to help promote their policies.

The more votes the Greens get the more notice mainstream parties need to take of their policies. It's arguable that we wouldn't have had Brexit had it not been for UKIP - and the Greens have always had more seats than they ever got.

There are some constituencies where the Greens are second. A vote for them is valuable.

And also really worth voting green in local elections, where they can often hold the balance of power, and in European elections because of PR.

Finally, Caroline Lucas is one of the best MPs this country has - we need more like her. If she can get elected it proves it is possible.

There's nothing they could do to make me vote for them. Bunch of hypocrites.

So referring to woman as non-men is trans rights

And the Challenor fiasco, was that trans rights?

What rights are trans people lacking which the rest of us have?

No anti-trans on here so far. Just pro-women.
For me, it would be knowing what a woman is and protecting their rights.

David Challenor is an example of standing up for trans rights ? Crikey. The problem is even bigger than I thought.

Do the greens ever mention the environment these days?
It's the party that veered sharply from its remit.

I'd vote for them in a heartbeat if

They would protect women’s sex based rights, stop calling us “non men” and show they’ve taken on board the recommendations from their Challenor investigation

If they ditched all the gender woo woo anti science nonsense I'd consider it.
