LGBTIQA+ Greens: Statement on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election
LGBTIQA+ Greens: Statement on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election
We would like to thank Zack Polanski and all the Green Party members who campaigned hard in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, including our own members campaigning to elect our first gay MP and and our second LGBTIQA+ MP after Carla Denyer.
Zack held the Labour government to account over many issues including their complicity in the genocide in Gaza and failure to address cost of living in this country, while also standing firm against racist attacks from Reform against the now Labour MP Sagal Abdi-Wali. We are proud that we are a party that stands for everyone being able to engage in the democratic process regardless of their race, gender, or any other form of marginalisation. 
We want to congratulate Zack on more than tripling our vote share in Holborn and St Pancras, as well as increasing the Green Party membership from 50,000 to 200,000+ in the first year of his leadership. Additionally helping to get the Wales Green Party get their first two members of the Senedd, and our own membership of LGBTIQA+ Greens now being over 5,500. These increases show that the Green Party is a growing political force across England and Wales and we can build on this to win in future elections up and down the two countries.
We trust that Zack can deliver real hope and real change to people’s lives, including for those of us who are trans and queer as we desperately need a different direction right now for the country. So we hope the party will join us in coming together under his leadership and take the fight to Labour and Reform.

Israel was forged out of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The Greens have very belatedly recognised what should have been obvious all along

Mélenchon Is Right About France’s Debt. When, in the name of moderation, centrists brand every sensible alternative to severe austerity as “nonsense,” they leave voters only one electable rebellion on offer, and the far right is happy to supply it. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/s...

The Green "Zionism is racism" motion is far too divisive. There are many ways to do land theft and mass murder. I personally support the form where you use polite language and pretend the ultimate goal of genocide is a two-state solution 👍
