Green Party Gender Recognition Act survey

I am not sure if this has been posted before, but since the AC debacle, I have been researching the Green Party's position on a number of things so that I can make up my mind on wether to vote for them.

I came across their survey on the Gender Recognition act (posted by AC on her Twitter feed)

And I thought I'd fill it out, giving fair and reasonable answers. Well, turns out they dont want fair or reasonable answers. They have actually pre-filled out answers and pre-selected answers in the favour of the answers they want you to give so-to-say, so that you are encouraged to answer in the way they want.

AIBU to think this is outrageous (although not unsurprising)? It's not in the least bit unbiased and puts words in the mouths of people filling out the survey.

that ensures you know they won't be sending a separate submission, so you can then edit and 'personalise' their response, so it doesn't look like spam.

It also leaves it wide open to abuse, as if they get responses they don't like they can just alter them.

The whole consultation needs restarting. And completely obvious to anyone else rules need setting out.

Has anyone written to the Green Party to ask them whether their survey is being managed properly?

The buck stops with Nick Martin, the Chief Executive of the Green Party - it's no use addressing enquiries to the politicians.

Funnily enough, the Chief Executive keeps a low profile and I can't find an email address for him. Now I wonder why that should be the case.......?

Coyoacan "I live in Mexico and we have a so-called Green Party that has never ever shown the slightest interest in the environment and a socialist party that was hijacked a few years ago and is now a party for the criminal classes.

Anyone who is interested in the Green Party's original purpose should start acting now if they want to party to survive."

I think maybe the green party in its current format does not deserve to survive.

I think green issues are so vital for our survival as a species. I've no idea why only one party would be interested in them.

I'd like to see a green party with realistic policies also interested in the down trodden trodden masses ( I don't consider myself one of them but I want to live in a fair society).

And also, vitally, a party not throwing women under the bus.

So the WNUTBGP.

Is there such a party we could import!
