Does anybody here take the Greens seriously?

[the snail]

I probably wouldn't take this seriously. By-elections, innit?

Greens dropped any mention of trans rights, women's rights when they produced foreign language leaflets

The only English language Green Party leaflet for Gorton I could find is this one:

The Greens would be nuts to promote their policies on transgender issues and drugs to a Muslim audience. All parties tell the electorate whatever they think will win votes. In this case it's currently Gaza. Gorton's long standing MP, Gerald Kaufman, did exactly the same re Palestine and Kashmir.

All parties tell the electorate whatever they think will win votes.

Or they focus on what's important to the electorate. Impossible to detail every stance on every subject so focus on the bigger issues that are important to the people the candidate would be representing.

It'll be interesting to see whether the Greens can avoid too many internal squabbles about policy as it moves beyond just the basic green agenda.

Given what the Green sympathisers on here have been saying about Green party policy decisions, there will be loads of squabbles.

An article I found intersting about coverage Green PArty have been getting on TV. Article in 'The Conversation' about academic research so I consider politically neutral.

Why isn’t the Greens’ growing success reflected in media coverage?
n 2025, we found the Greens were the sixth most covered opposition party, being referenced in just 32 items, behind the Conservatives (375), Reform UK (213), the Liberal Democrats (116), the Scottish National Party or SNP (46) and ahead of Plaid Cymru (10).

We also tracked how often a party was the leading focus of a broadcaster’s report. The Greens led four items – three on BBC and one on ITV. These stories related to the Greens’ May local election campaign, Zack Polanski winning the party leadership in September and the party conference in October. But neither BBC News at Ten and ITV News at Ten covered the announcement or build-up to the leadership contest.
In contrast, Reform UK led 69 items, Conservatives led 45 items, the Liberal Democrats led 14 items and the SNP led 13 items.

WTH, no cultures or customs should be accommodated. Its just voting

Given what the Green sympathisers on here have been saying about Green party policy decisions, there will be loads of squabbles.

Also given that the Green seem to draw a lot of support from both liberal progressive types and relatively conservative Muslims, I think we can expect a fair bit of friction.

Also I've already seen couple of reports in the press of Muslim voters who backed the Greens on Thursday expressing surprise and disappointment with the party's policies on drugs, prostitution etc - which they said would have stopped them from voting green had they been aware of it. That said, it's up to them to do their own research.

Thanks. I had a quick look online but didn't find anything but simple posters. So you can't drop something from the text in other languages when it was never there in the first place.
