I’ve voted Green many times.

That should be automatic disqualification for any Green candidate. The last thing the Greens need is an influx of evidence-deniers.

@KimSJ @urlyman We weren't. impressed. The guy is still around and standing as a candidate (he's never succeeded in getting elected).

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

[timwardcam@c.im]

@KimSJ @urlyman Wasn't asked in any of my vetting sessions!

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.

@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.

@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

@la_rosa @urlyman @BashStKid @carladenyer @sianberry @ZackPolanski @Bonfire @newsmast we would be up for this!

We have experiance hosting many different fediverse platforms

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@electropict thanks. My mistake again ‍️

[simon318ppm@mastodon.sdf.org]

@urlyman @thegreenparty @PortsmouthGreens @samsterby @Molly

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
