Scottish Greens find a candidate more electorally suicide than Sparkles

[IJustWantedToHelptheEnvironment]

Yup, Wadhwa is back!

Aiming to stand as a candidate on the Edinburgh list for the socttish parliament next year.

No explanation or mention of Edinburgh rape crisis, of course. Wadhwa is trans, so cannot possibly be expected to explain Wadhwa's actions with public money like any CEO would have to. No idea how anybody in the greens expects this to play out - maybe they are just hoping nobody will notice???

Oh FFS. They really have lost the plot.

Dear oh lord what a motley crew..

I hope the people in the area he's going to be standing in asked some very pointed questions of their barnpot candidate.
The Greens are now the 'certifiably party' anyone who is still a member needs to hang their head in shame.

Yep having perused that list it certainly looks like a selection of interesting characters. The two women seem the most normal but probably aren't due to the fact they are part of the rainbow greens. Who've had nappy fetishists in their group if I remember that Wings over Scotland exposé from a few years ago. Just...lovely. Why any actual women would want to go near them is madness to me.

Seriously? Who said raped women need to "reframe their trauma" and stop being so bigoted against men, that Wadwa?

They're taking the piss, actually taking the fucking piss.

If you're including Iris Duane, he's a man.

They make Reform look like thoroughly upstanding chaps.

Well, they're usually happier to donate, to be fair.

Wow. Speechless.

The Greens are done, I'm afraid. It's quite depressing.

I agree with your username, OP.

So they've three transwomen and one actual woman on that list?!

I mean...what? Why would any political party field a candidate so toxic (in terms of media/publicity)? I mean, I know the Scottish Greens are madder than a bag of haddock, but...WTF?

Ah yes @Waitwhat23 thanks for correction. It was a quick glance I had! A closer look shows the male jaw line. I think sometimes photographs can be a bit misleading. So looking again I can see that it's two women, if I'm including the clearly vulnerable trans man. The woman who isn't queer or anything else (from the picture) is of course at the bottom of the list.

What happened to caring about the environment, living in a more eco friendly way and helping to reduce greenhouse gases?

I think we need a new party for the environment. Probably made up largely of the sane people out of the Greens.

Huh - three men, three trans identifying men, one woman and one trans identifying woman 🤔

Not a single one of those candidates mention any of those issues.

Iris Duane -

He's also one of the candidates that Niall Christie of the Scottish Greens recommended as a better option for female representation and suggested that males such as Harvie and Greer step down in favour of -

Great. What a shower. Do people actually vote for them!

Makes you almost nostalgic...

They've chucked out anyone actually interested (and capable) of addressing environmental concerns in favour of rabidly following gender ideology. Look what happened to Andy Whiteman.

And how they do deserve each other.

No. They get comically low numbers of votes but get through because of the list system.

The options get ever fewer 🙄

Funny. 😂
