The SOC said NO to email votes from those who cannot attend to vote today but who did vote yesterday. Surprise surprise

Rightsraptor · 05/03/2022 10:52

Well they can't keep me away! I'm there, voting finger twitching.

Good luck! So disappointed with a green Party

AlsoNotAGirl · 05/03/2022 11:11

40mins in and still no actual vote. This is real amateur hour Shock

@ColourMagic

Just had an email from Louisa (Conference manager) - I had asked for my vote from last night to be counted as I cant get through the process for voting again (due to cognitive and visual impairments):

'I have forwarded your email to SOC for a decision on whether or not they will accept votes submitted by email in this way.

If they don't then we can look at proxies (giving your vote to someone else to exercise for you), which we will be able to organise from our end.'

.

I very much hope they do this as for a party claiming to be inclusive, to exclude you for your disabilities will be v shit.

As in the vote has gone against? It looked like women should vote for amendment 3 as it is out of order to move discussion on from the flowchart on twitter

Signalbox · 05/03/2022 11:41

No you need to vote "against" amendment 3. The vote hasn't happened yet. Tech issues.

2Rebecca · 05/03/2022 11:46

Looking at the flowchart if amendment 3 falls the motion falls and the status quo prevails. It's not clear to someone not in the GP how amendments 3 and 4 are different

2Rebecca · 05/03/2022 11:47

Or if amendment 3 passes does the motion still get debated? It's clear as mud

2Rebecca · 05/03/2022 11:48

I see that you do need to vote against amendment 3

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/03/2022 11:53

Against amendment three, that fails and then amendment 4/5 are voted on and if they prevail status quo does not

ColourMagic · 05/03/2022 11:56

@WarriorN
have received a message that the SOC says people who voted last night and who want their vote counted today if they cant attend - their email votes (to count their vote from last night) will not be counted.

I am in online for voting today but am pretty much in relapse now and looking to be flattened/out of action for the next few days or week.

Also parents who voted last night but have child activities this morning are missing out as well

2Rebecca · 05/03/2022 11:56

It is mad that status quo does not mean ignoring an unnecessary emergency motion and existing policy stands

AlisonDonut · 05/03/2022 11:59

What is this Mickey Mouse nonsense?

If they can't even arrange a vote in their own party, how would they ever expect to run a country?

They are obviously trying all the tricks in the book to block people from voting...and are getting subscriptions from people for this?

It is a fucking farce.
