Why report on this now? The article even acknowledges that this happened last month. Also, there is no ‘UK Green Party’, Polanski was elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

Because the outlet was writing articles on other topics. It’s still interesting to discuss since they’re going to be leader for years.

Those 2 constituent countries fly under the Union Jack.

Only one year, unless he’s re-elected. The GPEW hold leadership elections every 2 years, but it was postponed last year so as to not coincide with the general election.

It’s still inaccurate to call them ‘the UK’s Green Party’ as both Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Green parties which are separate from the GPEW.
They won 84.6% of the vote, it’s important to examine the characters of influential Individuals.

I know? I literally voted for the man and reported on him being elected here.

I’m sorry, what? I don’t understand what that has to do with what’s being talked about.

Oh fuck off with this ignorance.
The Scottish Greens and The Green Party of England and Wales are not the same and have no official association.
The Scottish Greens officially declared no longer working with GPEW several years ago because of their transphobic stance. They also have different economic outlooks. The Scottish Greens lean towards socialism while the GPEW has a lot of ex Tories.
The Scottish Greens are also pro independence, so do they fuck fly under the Union Jack.
Yes there’s hope now that the GPEW will move more towards a socialist stance but that doesn’t make them the same.
Potentially a fair point but completely spoiled by swearing and vitriol. I’m seeing a lot more of this on Lemmy these days and it’s a big and unnecessary disappointment.
A solarPUNK performing speech control?
I said the word fuck. Not bigotry, not insults.
The vitriol is due to their confident ignorance in the face of facts. They were corrected by the admin of the UK server as to there not being a UK green party and responded with an insulting imperialist stance that they all fly under the Union Jack anyway. Throughout this comment thread they responded with nonsense or holier than thou stances. Even in response to my comment they frame it as a debate and order me to stop when there is no debate to be had.
Your comment is a disappointment to your server’s ideology.
It’s not speech control; you’re free to say what you want.
And I’m saying that I don’t like seeing nastiness. It’s unpleasant and sets a bad example, pushing the culture of the platform as a whole in a more toxic direction. If another commenter has done that to you then call them out for it or ignore it, don’t add to it.
You cannot hold a civil debate. Disengage.

I thought he already was?
People look to parties for guidance.
I think you responded to the wrong person…
It’s not good to assume.
It’s good to assume good intent I think. Your response was non sequitur, it felt the most charitable to assume you either innocently responded to the wrong person or had some clarification to offer if not.
LOL pretty stale “news” no? 🤣🤣😂
I’m not surprised at the do gooder derogation.
Might does not make right.
Is the news stale and not current. Yes.
So what are you on about? Please address this point directly instead of deflection. Thank you for your cooperation.
Another uk politician out to snatch milk :(
Looks like some brits have to go vegan now 🤷♀️🌱
