2/2 Senedd election in Cardiff specifically for under 18s and honestly his responses and attitudes towards many issues they raised were vile. It’s a disgrace that Reform put him forward as an MS candidate in the first place and he has spent his time in the Senedd causing more hatred and division.

2/2 joining the Greens in the first place. I hope she doesn't end up receiving some of the vile hatred that myself and others who have worked hard for the party for many years have had for stating this simple pillar of Green Politics of that being Grassroots Democracy.

Thanks and yes the inner workings of the party are very complex even to many long term members themselves. One of the things I was trying to do in the party in my limited capacity was to increase the education about the party to new members😊

2/2 by the wider Green Party but I’m not surprised this part of the story has been largely brushed over despite it being by far the biggest reason I decided to leave. The concerns and frustrations of people living in Wales often get overlooked by those in England.

Whilst I may not be in the party anymore I wish @zackpolanski.bsky.social luck in today’s by-election and hope he wins. Labour are a neoliberal establishment party that will change nothing. I also wish the general media had focused more on my points about Welsh members not feeling supported1/2

2/2 If you’re not happy you should resign and be replaced by the next person on your parties list. The way elected representatives suddenly forget about voters to me shows arrogance and a disregard for democracy. To me it also shows they are more interested in money than doing the right thing.

I still maintain this should not be allowed the same as the Reform member who switched to Plaid. Under the Senedd voting system you were not voted in as an individual you were voted in under a party list. To still allow MS’s (regardless of the party) to switch is completely undemocratic.1/2

Phil was a good friend and supporter of me while I was in the Welsh Green Party. He actively supported the set up of the Wales Young Greens and was a keen supporter of Welsh Democracy. I not only feel his concerns acutely they were also part of the reason I left.

2/2 I really respect @steveaich.bsky.social I’m also friends with Dan Naughton a Lib Dem councillor in Cardiff who I knew from Uni. When I was the MP candidate for Torfean I also got to know Brendan Roberts the Lib Dem candidate well but he’s now left you. Adults can disagree respectfully😊

Correct. For that and many other reasons. As with all political parties though even if I disagree with them I can still be friends with people who are members of them and acknowledge their are good people working hard for there local area in that party. For the Welsh Lib Dems and my experiences…1/2

So much online politics is this dynamic, in which an anonymous person, purportedly a Green supporter, cannot recognise that the person they are berating a former Green councillor and parliamentary candidate who was literally a leadership candidate six years ago.

So of course you can point towards a long history of calling Labour etc "antisemitic" and "extreme" for supporting Zionism and it's not a position you've just pulled out your ass to defend these attacks now, right?

I am not and have never been a Labour member or supporter. I am, for the time being at least, a Green member. 

I hope that explains my greater involvement in one of these things than the other.

Todays Welsh cabinet announcement once again shows the single biggest problem with our politics in Wales. Not enough representation of “young” people. Only one cabinet member is under the age of 40 and she is herself 38/39. To all parties including my own do better.

I had chatted to @phildavies1995.bsky.social about this while he wrote this. It is infuriating when political pundits treat younger politicians as if they’re chasing there DofE award, rather than co-equal members of a political unit. The Greens do litter pick but we never assign this work by age.

I mean I’m happy to do litter picks I’ve done loads throughout the years and when I had more time (pre Senedd campaign) was an active member of a few local litter-picking groups😊 I agree it’s not something the party itself should be expected to be the organisers off across these isles though.

Couldn’t agree more with Will. The people of Wales don’t need more reviews, audits and vague promises. They need immediate bold action to tackle child poverty, the housing crisis and to improve our NHS in Wales Greens would deliver that bold action.

This is such a daft and revealing line of questioning. I don't think we elect Greens because they don't fly; surely we elect them because they'd deliver the alternatives to flying for all of us? I think the Greens are the only English party to support the delivery of HS2 in full, for example.
