I’ve voted Green many times.
-
…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…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

…Supplement to the poll above for citizens (and past citizens) of England and Wales only.
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
Offer expertise in onboarding as a consultancy. Team up with UK based @autonomic for expertise in managed hosting for Bonfire, GoToSocial, Mastodon...

What unctions does Feyerabend seek when ill and all that.

(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.)

I’ve voted Green many times.
I voted Green last week.But the Green Party of England and Wales does nothing at my local level to win my vote.
And its main presence here is a bot that treats Mastodon users as passive recipients of snippets of conversations going on elsewhere.
I understand why, but I don’t like it.
I am however grateful to the few UK Green reps who have chosen to actually be here
@urlyman in the US the green party only exists for 20 minutes every for years. They show up to run for president them slide back into their masturbatory hole.
Want my vote? Prove you exist in my state or better yet my community. Prove you have a coalition of support to get something done.

@Pamela1960 Thanks Pam. Did you register that in this poll? https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116572191163542895

@urlyman [Yes] Twice in ~20 years.
✘ 2000s Local Election: Low-stakes and "try for heart over tactics", I thought, didn't win the Green but got Lib Dem, my usual pick and also the tactical choice in the two-way split Lib Dem−Conservative (but usually LD) ward.
2019 European Parliament Election: I won my Green MEP, reckoning the D'Hondt method to be up to the task.All other elections under FPTP, I've gone tactical. Won 14/22 at Local (4 "losses" may count as half-wins), and 3/6 at GE.
