Green Party Leadership Election

[delicatemoth]

I've no idea Duncan. I think I have the right to express alarm and disappointment at the trend. I suggest the leadership, you and the other decent 80% have a think about it though. Ignoring it gets you Labour's deep seated problem and it appears you already have the numbers for this.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Perhaps the winning leadership candidate who promised specific measures could tell people what they are? That would be a start, wouldn't it?

[Duncan Gardner]

delicatemoth I'm not ignoring the issue, although like you I have no quick answer. I guess that Ali and many of his supporters will continue making their case whatever Denyer and Ramsay say and do. Thanks for the kind comment

[DCI Harry Batt]

Any news on these specific measures the new leadership team promised?

[Duncan Gardner]

Maybe one of the various people you've blocked has already posted it?

[Etienne]

I'm not aware of any measures. Where did you hear about the specific measures that were promised, so I can get an idea of the context. Not trying to be obstructive, but I am not sure what they could have promised that they could actually deliver. In other words, I suspect they have over promised rather than underdelivered.

[DCI Harry Batt]

I suspect the same (though it must be possible for any member, and therefore for the leader, to make specific proposals). It was yer woman, on twitter. I'll find it again.

Yeah, I think that it's reasonable to chase up on that. Obviously it's the party conference next weekend, so I'd be looking for something to happen or at least be announced there.

[DCI Harry Batt]

I did ask her myself, but wasn't expecting a response.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Nowt, then?

[Etienne]

Amelia Womack is coming to North Shropshire next week, so I'll ask her if there's anything happening behind the scenes.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Cool, be interested to know.

Saw this just now and made me think of this thread

So that filthy bigot got re-elected then. Fuck the Greens.

[Duncan Gardner]

Bloke who doesn't vote isn't going to vote non shock

[Gas In Name Only]

Yes that's definitely the main thing to take from this

[Etienne]

The Green Party Women's group is not representative of the party, or women in the party. But it is very disappointing.

[Duncan Gardner]

Sorry, didn't realise I needed to check with you what to take from it.

I mean, I kinda get what you're saying, but that seems like a Green Party problem rather than mine, to deal with, and clearly it isn't dealing with it.

The twitter thread had a lot of people who would like to be well disposed to the Green Party pointing this out.

[Etienne]

Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that, DCI Harry Batt

When did Tamsin Omond leave?

Typically good, strong statement from Scottish Green Party Women:

Typically weak statement from co-leader Ramsay

[Etienne]

He's a bit of a cipher in his public pronouncements. I literally have no idea what he thinks about this or any other issue that is controversial within the Green Party.
