Parties are here today, gone tomorrow, and are not entitled to the votes of specific constituencies.
One of the things discussed at #GPC23 last weekend was bullying of local Green parties by Labour folk fearful of *their* votes being taken by Green candidates. The Green Party shouldn't exist, we are told repeatedly, as the *progressive* vote apparently *belongs* to Labour.

Green Party deputy leader Zac Polanski speaking now at conference. He talks of identity, or rather the complex tapestry of identities that make up individuals and communities.
Well said, Zac!

Green Party conference is hybrid in-room/online, and, despite some teething issues with online voting on amendments from the floor, it's working pretty well even in the first plenary session.
The chairing of this technical session is very good.

I’m really excited to be in Brighton for Green Party Conference. We have a very busy schedule, but I’m particularly excited about our motion on AI. If this motion passes, the Greens will be leading the way on this issue. #GPC23 https://greenworld.org.uk/article/how-can-greens-shape-future-ai

I urge #GPC23 to support motion E05 to fund HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail.
