I've barely engaged with Twitter/X for a while now and this will be my last post. Apart from the ever increasing toxicity I do not wish to give any credibility whatsoever to Musk. I'll deactivate the account in 7 days. Follow me at @briancandeland.bsky.social

@MakeVotesMatter Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all use PR for their own national parliaments.

Tommy Robinson shared a video about paedophile gangs and vindictively used an image of Green Cllr @MothinAli
Amplified by Elon Musk, the video hit 33M views, spreading hate and lies. Mothin has no association with these crimes. He is #HeroOfHarehills
We & @GreensOfColour stand with Cllr Mothin Ali against this defamation and demand accountability.

@DarrenBar88 @ShipleyTC Really sorry to hear this. Thank you for all you've done and take care 😘

Today I have resigned as a Green Party town councillor on @ShipleyTC.
#LongCovid has robbed me of my ability to play any meaningful role in my community and leaves me incapable of representing my constituents.
It has been an honour to have served my community.

@radartabs @notgonnagoyet Fair point; Jethro Tull were one of my favourite bands of the late 60s/early 70s

@SteveLawrence_ @TheGreenParty @reformparty_uk @HouseofCommons Approx. 17 times as many Green as Reform is what I make it too
English

I think this is right.
@TheGreenParty has 17 local councillors for each @reformparty_uk councillor
The Green Party is a REAL party with proper members
The lack of representation in @HouseofCommons is caused by FPTP
Neither Labour nor a Tory be, they’re 2 sides of a bent coin

2025 is the year where we badly need environmental, racial, social and economic justice. The Green Party must grow and become the antidote to Farage. Not through tricks & gimmicks but through grass roots movements rooted in communities. 9/

Supporters of #ProportionalRepresentation
should make it clear to @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour that if the issue of PR keeps being dismissed, despite voter support, then votes will be withheld from any candidates that don’t support PR.

Back in June, then Labour MP for Bristol Thangam Debbonaire was "enraged" when Green activists suggested she'd be put in the Lords if she lost. Six months later - that is, today - Thangam Debbonaire has been put in the Lords. As Green activists said would happen!

@FinnWhiteGPEW I agree, but that's (even) less likely with the ConLab duopoly
English

@FinnWhiteGPEW I don't have a problem if they have a democratic assembly to hold them to account (which London has but nowhere else in England).

@Angelcalling5 I don't get the connection between 'Electing a Labour Government' and 'Rejoining the EU'.

I am on Bluesky at @briancandeland.bsky.social - I am increasingly on there and less on here.

@LoftusSteve I obviously don't want them to but it only needs them to gain another 10-12 percentage points above their recent polling. Chaos would probably be being kind. Hence the need to move to a democratic voting system
English

They really can't, nor should you want them to.
They have 5 MPs, nobody is going from 5 to 320+, but if they did, it would mean the Defence secretary was a 50 year old from Grimsby with 2 car dealerships and zero political experience. It would be chaos.
