I'm not going to wade into the rights or wrongs of the ZiR motion; the internet is where nuance goes to die. I am going to point out that any governance model that allows 1,100 members to define policy for 229,000 others is singularly unfit for purpose and needs to either reformed, or pulled down.

Take note @theguardian.com readers, as the Grauniad is not immune from this either.
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.
Hey @theguardian.com, presumably you're gonna give @zackpolanski.bsky.social similar column inches? Wouldn't want to be seen to be trying to influence an election, now would you..?
That Zack Polanski has mainstream media rattled is a good indicator that he's exactly the person we need. Personally, as a trans woman, most political parties want to persecute me just for existing. Zack has, for the first time in ages, given me some genuine hope. #BackZack

This last minute critique of our campaign is right about one thing: the choice is clear. Timid incremental change or bold leadership that both builds a movement and wins on the ground. Members: it’s your call. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
I know I'm no longer particularly relevant in the Green Party, but maybe one or two of you might be interested in who I plan to vote for in the internal elections? Here's my thinking ahead of the voting opening on Friday...

Labour's alienating another big chunk of viewers. It's amazing how spendthrift they are with votes considering the tiny margin they're sitting on, and the fact that there will be NO Get The Tories Out imperative in 2029. Perhaps they don't fancy reelection? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
