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 conference now looking at AI and the need for democratic regulation. Highlighting benefits as well as downsides. Very detailed motion.
Addendum: a (wrecking) motion to refer back, put by opponents of all AI/machine learning, was defeated.
Wales Green Party leader Anthony Slaughter speaking now at conference about the evolving political situation in the country, and the need for independence.

For my sins I have been elected deputy convenor of the Green Party's European Policy Working Group.
The EPWG is responsible for drafting policy on the EU, Brexit, and other European matters.
My most recent contribution was to co-write the party's election manifesto section on Europe.
It is the heisse Scheisse!
Back to Green Party conference, and a fringe session "Our shared commons - from land to sea", with guest speakers naturalist Nadia Shaikh and economist Guy Standing.
An important point made by Standing is that the very idea of a 'tragedy of the commons' is an ahistorical nonsense.
