I’ve voted Green many times.

Hope so -
…The irony is that Mastodon is faaaaar closer to the ethos of Green politics than any of the other platforms they are spending their time in.
Again, I understand what is driving that asymmetry. And I understand how thinly it spreads underfunded individuals.
But nonetheless, treating Mastodon users as second class participants has the same kind of dynamic to it as Labour taking its left wing voters for granted

Mastodon is like BBC4, quality over quantity. It's the demographic they want to reach. -

…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 -

Baroness Natalie Bennett…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

You can vote ‘No’ if you like but I’m only interested in the extent of the ‘Yes’.
Please boost for reach. Poll runs for 1 week.

very much so. I know the party comms folks are feeling overwhelmed at the moment, and probably grasping at the familiar but hostile and failed digital options.
This would be a good moment to set up a Green Party instance, in control of its own governance and moderation, that can be linked into local Party initiatives and community groups.
And, indeed, regional and international comms with Scotland, Irelands, and France. -

The digital teams of people like @carladenyer @sianberry @ZackPolanski should be talking to the likes of @Bonfire and @newsmast
If there was a #gpew instance here I would totally join it and contribute to funding it

Have you ever come close to voting for the Green Party of England and Wales but…
in the end have never done so?

@urlyman Our local Green candidate has said that he doesn't believe in the scientific method. Not a terribly bright thing to say to one of his potential voters who happened to be a NatSci student.

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

(TBF, though, I also have a Cambridge natsci degree, and unless you take the HPS option (which I didn't), it tells you next to nothing about the scientific method.)
