I’m not in the UK, but would like to see the Green Party there get into much more detailed work on the realities of transition to #degrowth – not only with accountants, but also with lawyers on the necessary revisions to company and commercial law (which incidentally also involved the accountancy profession because standards there will also have to change to include ‘social auditing’, etc.).
Broad-brush economists, however ‘green’, will only take us so far…

So proud of central Meon Valley (where I raised my daughter) for holding a Green Party councillor. ❤️💚
To me that is poetry.

Doing a bit of last-minute #Leeds City Council-election research on candidates for #Pudsey Ward? Check out my statements (alongside my competitors') at https://westleedsdispatch.com/leeds-election-candidate-profiles-2023-pudsey-ward/ or my similar statement (alongside my fellow #GreenParty candidates) at https://candoleeds.greenparty.org.uk/candidates/. It's also below :-) Don't forget to take photo ID with you to vote and thanks for looking me up!

~ ~ ~

I’ve been an active member of the Leeds community for the last fifteen years. I’ve chaired the St Luke’s Tenants and Residents Association, lobbying the council and organising community gardening, kids’ fundays, and litterpicks. I’ve volunteered to support disadvantaged children and I’m a school governor. I’d be honoured to take this work to the next level as a councillor.

Let’s be honest: the Green Party isn’t a big player in Pudsey politics (yet!). Last year the Tories got 55% of the vote, Labour had 37%, and we came third with 5%.

So why should you vote Green now? Put simply: to encourage us, and to show the ‘big two’ what their policies ought to be.

It’s crazy that key bus services in Pudsey have been at risk over the last year, when we all know that what Leeds needs is more, and better, public transport. This situation is largely caused by the Conservative national government imposing privatised buses on us and preventing Leeds enacting the policies we know we need for the city to flourish—part of their wider economic mismanagement. We can’t expect the Conservatives to do any better running Leeds City Council than they do running the UK.

But the Labour-led city council has also long missed opportunities, like promoting home-insulation that we always knew we needed – and now the energy crisis has hit and we’re hardly off the starting grid.

Leeds Green Party is starting to make waves in elsewhere in the city, and beginning to offer a powerful third option for Leeds voters seeking a sustainable alternative to business as usual. A vote for the Greens would be a vote to show that you care about living in a less polluted, more liveable city, with more control over our own future.

The whole of my local South Ribble council is up for election at the upcoming polls.

We have 8 candidates vying for one of 3 places on council
3 Conservatives
3 Lib Dems
1 Labour
1 Green

Already had joint literature from the Tories, but waiting for something from the rest!!

In my area, there is quite a smattering of Green Party Poles put up outside houses.

There are literally NO Conservative posters. None.

This doesn't mean that there will be a #GreenParty landslide. More likely the #ToryEnablers will still vote #Tory, but are too embarassed to admit this.

#Labour have completely reverted to the Blair playbook: "we won't oppose you on any issue, we just argue we will manage it better."

The Lib Dems don't mention #trans or #LGBTQ stuff on their website at all.

The #GreenParty have a lot of issues, but at least they seem to have not completely succumbed to gender-crit/TERF bullshit.

I guess, based on self-interest then, I have to vote for them. They're the least-bad option.

God save us. If you can, leave.

i can see this being very popular among rural communities who have been bombarded with new developments without any consideration for providing services. Infact, some areas have seen GPs close and bus services cut. Then there's the issues caused with insufficient drainage and increasing flooding. A lot of new developments are no better than glorified ghettos. North Cambridge seems to have become a run down concrete mess.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

The #UK Green Party "saw several motions passed – on abandoning the Party’s opposition to NATO, ending HIV transmissions by 2030, re-joining the EU, and more..."

"#NATO has an important role in ensuring the ability of its member states to respond to threats to their security. The #GreenParty supports the principle of international solidarity, whereby nations support one another through mutual defence alliances and multilateral security frameworks."

A clear example of a decade's long #BBCbias is the fact that #BBCqt has invited unelected far-right ideologists and lobbyists on their panel dozens of times more often than elected #GreenParty MP @carolinelucas or Green Party leaders over the years.

The #BBC has effectively banned @thegreenparty from BBC QT in favour of extremists.

Do not be surprised that the #BBC is now censoring part of a #DavidAttenborough doc.
