I’ve voted Green many times.

“Explain the scientific method” should be a standard question at all candidate selection interviews! -

One "feature" of #Cambridge is that whatever you decide, as an amateur volunteer (ie councillor), there will be amongst your constituents a world class expert on the subject who will tell you what you've got wrong.

@electropict Thanks. I was quickly scanning the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Green_Party_of_England_and_Wales_MPs_and_peers#House_of_Lords and not reading into it carefully enough. Post above corrected.

…The @thegreenparty itself is only ‘here’ via a federated Threads account.
@PortsmouthGreens were here at least occasionally until last year and now aren’t.
I know of one Green Councillor, @samsterby, who is here
@Molly hasn’t been here since 2023.
Wonder how many Mastodon users resident in England and Wales voted Green
… see the poll following 
@urlyman @thegreenparty @PortsmouthGreens @samsterby @Molly That raises another point re councillors.
This would be an opportunity to enable Green councillors to talk to each other, and be a forum that isn’t Facebook to talk to their constituents.
Might be one way of attracting some folks away from the grasp of Facebook.And, bureaucratically, it would be a way for leadership to keep up a better two-way dialogue with the increasing numbers representing it locally.

…To my awareness, most of the UK Green reps who are here are representing Scotland. Good for them.
It would be nice if the teams of the following showed *any interest at all* in on-going participation here:
Adrian Ramsay MP
@carladenyer MP
Caroline Lucas MP
Cynog Dafis MP
Ellie Chowns MP
Hannah Spencer MP
@sianberry MPBaroness Jenny Jones
Baroness Natalie Bennett@urlyman @carladenyer @sianberry @ZackPolanski @gruff is always active here. - I guess I don't quite qualify being only a Parish Councilor. But I do agree about the principles.

@nusher thanks Natasha. The poll above grew out of GPEW being absent from Mastodon.
I appreciate that Scottish Greens are here to some degree

@urlyman @BashStKid @carladenyer @sianberry @ZackPolanski @Bonfire @newsmast
Sounds like opportunity calls to work up a formal proposal inviting Greens to invest time and attention in the Fediverse.
Greens offer a vision for a better UK. Fedi offers a vision for better online communities. A perfect fit to mutually grow this better future together
Offer expertise in onboarding as a consultancy. Team up with UK based @autonomic for expertise in managed hosting for Bonfire, GoToSocial, Mastodon...
@la_rosa @urlyman @BashStKid @carladenyer @sianberry @ZackPolanski @Bonfire @newsmast we would be up for this!
We have experiance hosting many different fediverse platforms

@electropict thanks. My mistake again

Apologies if if got the wrong person but I think @pvonhellermannn was talking about a motion to conference on this?
I find GPEW’s policy process impenetrable in the extreme but would be good if those of us on here who are members could collaborate to push on this, either through a conference resolution or other route
