Why the Green Party is shit

[butchersapron]

Worse than that - that covers remainers who think the result should be respected as well.

 

[Pickman's model]

Green candidate MP for Bath

attacks anyone who doesn't want a to keep Britain in EU

all electoral results are fraudulent, no reason why the referendum should be any different

 

[SpackleFrog]

Much as the Green council in Brighton was predictably shit on the bin strikes, iirc Lucas herself visited the pickets and pledged to support them. Major split in Green Party as Caroline Lucas joins Brighton wildcat strike

Lucas did then organise community strike breaking teams, for balance.

They were speaking out against the SNP yesterday over the SNP pretending to care about arms sales to places like Saudi when they really don't. Good on the (Scottish) Greens!

tbf you'd vote for anyone who legalised green

I'll vote only for parties that are for drug law reform - and not for selfish reasons.

Only the green ones.

Murderer!

Sour cream? Cheese? hater! Cow rapist! Baby killer!

All the others ( with perhaps a minor exception for paprika) are like bitter weeds of disappointment upon the tongue. A Pringle that isn’t from a green sour cream and onion tube is like that time you were seven and there was a massive present under the Christmas tree, but when you opened it it was a coat.

They sound ideal for members of the Green Party...

Inspired by the legendary 'why the Lib Dems are shit' thread and prompted by the Green led council strikebreaking in Brighton, this is your opportunity to give examples of their shitness and prove that those of us who think they'd genocide the working class to save the Bolivian arse wasp are right. As with the why the lib dems are shit thread, this could be policies, personalities or anything else - provided it's evidence of Green shitness it needs to go in here.

I'll start us off with the aforementioned strike breaking in Brighton, details of which can be found in this thread.

Hateful stuff.

Well at least they can't be accused of populism.

My friend was the PPC for the Greens in Filton and Bradley Stoke, but has now quit the party because of the electoral pact with the Lib Dems

For £100, the former Green Party leader will bake you a cake.

I’m disappointed it wasn’t because Thatcher was part of the team that developed soft-serve ice cream in the 1950s

Sold in the US since the thirties. The old cow nicked that idea from the US.

A Head-Scarf Ban and Carbon Taxes: Austria’s Kurz to Govern With Green Party in Unlikely Partnership


That’s how, in a 300-page coalition contract presented in Vienna on Thursday, plans for a head scarf ban for Muslim girls and deportation centers for unsuccessful asylum seekers sat side by side with a carbon tax on airline tickets and a target to make Austria carbon neutral by 2040.

As far as political transformations go, it was certainly remarkable — and it was being watched closely in neighboring European countries, where identity politics and climate change have crystallized as two main political fault lines in the Continent’s simmering culture wars.

You mean people tidying up?

A Head-Scarf Ban and Carbon Taxes: Austria’s Kurz to Govern With Green Party in Unlikely Partnership...

Also tax cuts

Kurz also announced that corporation tax will be cut to 21% from 25%. Income taxes will also be reduced for those for those in the current 25%, 35% and 42% brackets, with corresponding rates cut to 20%, 30% and 40%.

If [the coalition] succeeds, it may set an example for other European democracies, where Green parties appear poised to enter government coalitions.
.....
The new Austrian coalition may prove to be a harbinger especially for Germany, where there is already talk of forming a similar coalition after the next election, slated for 2021.

Too true. And something those cheering on the German Greens would do well to think about.

Tidying up people who were scabs?
Please explain .....

SF is arguing that Lucas actions amounted to organising strike breaking. RS is saying that those actions were merely getting people to tidy up and so implying that is was not strike breaking.
