The Scottish Greens are revolting

At least, the Rainbow Greens are!

There's a petition for the Greens to leave Government, if anyone finds it please post the link or how to find it!

Oooh, are we doing a pool?

I'll take Tuesday 28th, after 6pm.

I will buck the trend and say that he'll not only stay but will get elected, enter into a coalition with labour and become the next PM.

There is more truth to that statement than in TWAW

Christ, it is a possibility. The Minister for Pegging.

It looks like a large bat has flown into the back of his head and expired upon impact.

Sparkles has just posted saying "I will never quit" while sharing an article about Sturgeon quitting:

Nicola Sturgeon says trans rights abuse pushed her to quit as Scottish leader

I think Sparkles maybe reading this thread. Waves! Thing is Sparkles it doesn't matter what you do. Quit we win. Stay we win. Because you are helping the Terfs right now. Women are sharing your "music", your "great lyrics" on twitter and getting more views than you did.

"Don't forget tread on a terf on the way out"

You don't get it Sparkles you are not getting to tread on Terfs. They are treading on you, using you to show how insane this stuff is. Using you to spread the truth wider. Climbing up. Shouting louder.

More to the point you will never, ever in a million years, be Sturgeon or understand her.

Sturgeon quitting was a good, for while she was wrong about gender she was a very skilled political operator who help convince people that betraying women's rights was a "good thing". It was not easy to bring her down, but a bunch of brave women and sensible men did it by telling the truth. Her replacements are frankly worse at lying about women than she was.

Sparkles on the other hand makes supporting women look like the best option by far. Sturgeon I think does have a sense of shame, she does have normal emotions, repressed ones, she wouldn't have been as capable at convincing people if she didn't. The fact she is so keen to blame her fall on gender is her attempt to rationalise those feelings away. At the back of her mind when she was trying to explain supporting male rapists there was a voice saying the "terfs are right" that is why she quit. That is why she was so convincing she was desperately trying to convince herself that she was one of the good ones. Now not being leader she doesn't have to confront grim reality she can blame the "bad women" all she wants.

Sparkles doesn't have that capability it seems. He can't understand women or men. Which is why Sparkles peaks so many, men like him peak people. The more press, the more sunlight the better.

Why do these male politicians with self published sexual fetishes believe they will ever be voted in?

You know that these support groups have down a real number on the people they are supposed to represent when those people actually believe that the voting public want to be represented by a person who self publishes their sex life including their sexual fetishes. Including the exhibitionism needed to self publish the other sexual fetish behaviour in the first place.

Sophie and his polycule is of course helpful to women trying to explain why we need spaces separate from men.

God help me and I don't know why but I have in mind Sophie's own wellbeing when I say it will not end well.

This is clearly a vulnerable person, (and once again, vulnerable does not necessarily equate to harmless).

Because of the Scottish List system. People won’t be voting for Sophie, they will be voting for the Greens. The Greens won’t be putting out electoral material denying Cass, pushing Gender Ideology in schools and insisting men with fetishes are allowed in women’s spaces. Their electoral material will all be the stuff they barely mention at other times - trees, environment etc, and independence. They only needed 6% of the regional vote to get an MSP.

Sophie says he's standing as an MP, is that incorrect?

It's a new constituency so I wasn't sure.

"Vote Green, get Sparkles"

With some honest graphic images.

Probably wouldn't be allowed in mainstream media/advertising, but social media is another kettle of fish.

I mean the other point is I have no doubt Sparkles will cling to any power or attention he can get.

What is expected is that the Green Party will not wish to cling back.

Ah possibly.

I didn't know the scottish system worked like that, thank you for explaining. That explains how these loons are more 'popular' in Scotland than in the rest of the UK.
Even so, I've seen the pics sparkles posted of himself complete with gag and clamped nipples etc and I can't imagine over looking that sort of online activity for sake of party politics and voting for him 😂

If he is standing for an MP seat then the list system isn’t relevant. But if it is for a regional MSP seat then Indy supporters will overlook pretty much anything - including a decade of failings by the SNP. Westminster probably made Sophie do it…

Sparkles is definitely standing for election as a Westminster MP, so first past the post applies.

Damn, there goes my slogan.

Vote Green, feel green?

Well, if we weren't sure that Soapy was delusional before, I think we are now! Them hasn't a hope in Hell.

Sophie has agreed to a live Twitter space debate with Sinead Watson.

And Sophie has just announced this:

'I'm currently using a rape counselling service for women. As a woman, it is my human right to use this service. They respect me as the woman I am. Trans woman must not be barred from these services.'

This is not a well person.

This would be a considerably more honest piece of electoral material than Sophie would like distributed.

(I've put it behind a sensitive content because shudders)

No. Very much not.

The Greens have surely a duty of care to ensure that candidates are stable enough to handle the political process.

It's famously gruelling, and it seems positively cruel to allow someone this confused and vulnerable to stand.

Exactly this, the parties are all talking more and more about mental health issues and the job. You have to be a really robust character to be in politics. Also really clearly defined boundaries between private and public life. I feel like The Green Party is failing it's candidate here as well as constituents who would like an environment and climate centered option to vote for.

I must admit, other than (as a general rule) never wishing harm on anyone, Sparkle's health isn't really my main concern. But do the Greens actually think this is a fit and proper person to represent the people in that constituency?

I can only think they recognise they've got zero chance of winning there and needed something to stick a green rosette on and, as the Hate Monster is busy with Police Scotland, they thought 'Fuck it! At least Sparkles will give everyone a laugh'.
