Where are the Green Party?

Blimey, you’re right.
Are they hiding with the LibDems?
Has everyone just given up?
I think that the Greenies have actually got two party leaders at present.

Caroline lucas was on Question Time. sadly instead of fighting green issues they are now more concerned with the TWAW debate

They have just changed their co-leaders, and they are now Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay - www.greenparty.org.uk/people/leaders-of-green-party.html
Yes I agree we need them more than ever, but they need a media that is prepared to give them coverage. Otherwise they would need to do activities like XR.
Caroline Lucas was on Question Time last Thursday, and she always comes over well. I'd really like her round for an evening meal some time, she looks so much fun.

Oh dear. I did wonder if that was the case. The last time I heard them on R4 they were discussing trans stuff.

Sorry, my reply was to GM
I’m too slow

I thought so FC.

I believe sian berry quit as co leader as her stance on TWAW was being challenged by some sections of the party

I saw someone on another thread saying that in light of last week's events they couldn't vote Tory again and they would vote Green but consider it a wasted vote.

Now really could be the Green Party's moment. Focus on the key issues, get out there and talk to people, grab all the inspired young and disenchanted older voters and go out all guns blazing.

I voted green for many years.,but their stance on women's rights means I can no longer. it could be their moment. .bit they will miss it due to this

Same here GrannyMac, I don’t know who to vote for now at all.
Do any of them believe that TW are TW?

Where are the Green Party in Scotland? They are in Government in partnership with the SNP. Certainly they owe this to the second votes of thousands via the PR system used in Scottish Elections and the votes of the 16 to 18 yos who have a vote.

The co-leader of the Scottish Green Party has Covid.

Fanny. These do

yes they are small.,but I have joined and hope they have a candidate in the next election

Sounds like the Green Party are focusing more on TW rights than the environment atm.

GrannyMacawell thank you for that link, very interesting. Sorry, I forgot to thank you yesterday

I think the Green Party need to be making themselves known. Every month I am involved in a litter pick in our town. We have one Green town councillor. I have never seen him join in with the litter pick although our Labour MP has done so. Today is our litter pick morning so I’m off maybe the Green Councillor will turn up this time!

I'm just so fed up with all the marching and talking about the need to save the planet. It's OK . We know. Now where are the clever engineers, inventors and designers plans? Time to move on to those.

The government won't fund them.

I speak from experience.

Alegrias sigh. I read a letter from 30 inventors, engineers and physicists who all had important potentially useful plans but weren't allowed at COP26. That conference can only have been a talking shop.

I didn't realise that Aveline
It does make me despair.

There are a lot of people beavering away with ideas and plans but we only hear the negatives not the positives.

I didn't use beavering away lightly, either. They are helping in their own way too.

The government’s flagship green homes grant scheme to help people install energy efficiency measures resulted in just 15,182 households on low incomes improving their property’s insulation, it has emerged.

The £1.5bn scheme was designed to improve 600,000 properties but, according to data uncovered by the Liberal Democrats, only a small number of homes benefited from funding for much-needed improvements.

I'm surprised, varian
Various schemes have been going for years, not just for low-income families and I know many people who had extra loft insulation and cavity wall insulation done free of charge.

Mind you, I am not a great believer in cavity wall insulation as I suspect it can cause damp and I hear that some has had to be removed.

I looked into this years ago. I do not have cavity walls - Cottage built of blonde sandstone 135 years ago. All they could offer was internal insulation boarding, which would have required redecorating throughout at my own expense. I did not have savings to cover this and the savings in heating costs would have been minimal.

My cousin is in the Green Party and he says that they constantly try to get coverage but the press isn't interested - only in sucking up to the government and covering scandals to get a good "sound bite". Reasonable-sounded people who speak common sense, apparently, doesn't make good copy! (PS he also said that too much of their time has been taken up recently with the trans issue - that's his opinion; no idea if it's true).
