Wow. So Emma's not allowed to have a personal opinion. One that is protected by law.

The green party are fucked.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/02/2022 14:47

I hope she's setting up her crowdfund to take them to court.

WarriorN · 04/02/2022 14:54

Fuck

highame · 04/02/2022 14:55

They really don't know what they're doing and certainly don't deserve Emma Bateman

DomesticatedZombie · 04/02/2022 14:55

Fucking hell. That is outrageous.

Toseland · 04/02/2022 14:55

Here we go again.
Good luck Emma x

Mean while the lgbt Qi+ greens want to educate all the greens:

They want donations to run re-education programmes

"Inclusion has always been apart of the Green Party of England and Wales, ever since the early days of the Green movement.
Our policy, agreed by members, campaigns and advocate for equality, diversity and an inclusive world for all.
We want to see our local and regional parties understand the issues of LGBTIQA+ issues, strengthening our policies to ensure we see more Greens elected, and change our community for the better."

and an inclusive world for all except women who think sex matters

OvaHere · 04/02/2022 15:05

and men to be fair, looking at what they are also doing to Shahrar Ali.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 04/02/2022 15:10

she got suspended last year too, didn't she?

what absolute twerps the green party are making of themselves

Oi, Stella Creasey, Caroline Noakes, I think I might be able to help with the question of why there aren't more women in politics....

This is shocking. Which part of the Code Of Conduct has been breeched? Link below for reference.

I wish they would drop the pretence of giving a shit about LGB or I, it's all about the QT with a little bit of A.

ScreamingMeMe · 04/02/2022 15:20

Oh dear. The Green Party is beyond hope. What a fucking laughing stock.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 04/02/2022 15:23

Jesus wept.

Can we get all the sensible GC female politicians to join together and form a party that's focussed on maintaining women's sex based rights, sorting out MVAWG and medical misogyny?

I'd vote for them.

Sue the shit out of them, Emma. As Shahrar has proved in the last few days, there's no shortage of women furious and willing to put their money where their mouth is.

thirdfiddle · 04/02/2022 15:32

Wtf? She was just voted co chair of the GPW on the basis of her very reasonable stance, with a majority of committee members agreeing with her. She hasn't changed her position. Can only assume it's men or a devious minority who have suspended her. There are clearly divided views in the party but that's no excuse for manipulating rules to exclude those who disagree.
I am a member still, just. I don't think I will be much longer. Should I leave or demand they suspend me too?

That is interesting. A short read of it certainly shows that a few vocal Greens are definitely in breach of it imo. And no, I am definitely not including Emma in that. What utterly underhanded behaviour.
ScreamingMeMe · 04/02/2022 15:35

Hello Owain! I see you're lurking here and posting screenshots on twitter. Again.

Hoepfully Emma can successfully appeal her suspension, like Owain and his mate Richard (both creepily obsessed with GC women) did.

I do recall seeing the other co chair (elected by far fewer votes, btw) saying she was working on getting Emma suspended. Can only presume she was somehow successful. Outrageous.

It seems like they should drop the pretense of caring about the environment as well. Surely that's the important bit Confused

Woman has opinion. The be-penised don't like it. 'Twas ever thus. And ever shall be at this rate. Society is going backwards in terms of equality. The Greens lost my vote years ago. Labour too.

If transwomen are women then what are they transing to and from? How are they different so that they need all this extra representation? Am I missing something?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/02/2022 15:43

How did Emma get unsuspended last time?

Yes, I was wondering how that plays with the Code of Conduct. So person1 wins co-chair outright. Person2, who disagrees with Person1 politically, scrapes through to co-chair on the third round, then puts in a complaint about Person1 getting her suspended and effectively removing her from the post and Person2 is now effectively sole chair. In what fucking world is that acceptable? Little Trumpists, the lot of them.

The Green Party seems to attract fruitcakes.
