Does anybody here take the Greens seriously?

Forest Hill Green candidate withdraws from local elections.

"A second London Green Party candidate has withdrawn from the upcoming local  elections after it was revealed he had shared conspiracy theories about Jewish people online. Bernard Mani, who was due to stand in Lewisham on May 7, was also accused of tearing down balloons put up in solidarity with Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas".

Looks like the smaller parties overlook vetting in the rush to field candidates.

Upcoming elections I'm considering not voting Green. Fliers sent round are all pretty rubbish with candidates going on about very minor local issues )eg helped raise funds for a garden shed for PTA).

So locally all very unimpressive and nationally Polanski does not impress me (I think he's rather an idiot)

Unless you are Scottish or Welsh I thought all the upcoming elections were for local councils.
Makes sense to discount them on that basis alone but Polanski should be irrelevant?

Like I said, nothing to decide between candidates, all pushing trivia avoiding significant local issues. So my decision broadens to in part broader scope, in part a message, etc.
