Tower Hamlets was undue spiritual influence (imams telling people who to vote for), making false statements about a rival candidate (which a Labour MP had their election voided for in 2010), bribery, personation and postal vote offences.


At least they were covering all bases

Your threat was in response to somebody asking of you fancied them. There was no racism involved.

Anyone posting racism on here is quickly dealt with by admin. And rightly so.


Was never a 'threat' it was a facetious retort on his "fancy" saying i "fancied....". A subtle nuance lost on many but never mind buh.

The thread and character of said individual was peppered with passive racist undertones but you know this already. I hate racism and others tolerate it. Now stop trying to incite a "classic TWTD pile-on" as you might call it.

1. It's not some new phenomenon - it always happens
2. Approximately 0% of those potentially influenced by a family member to vote Green would have voted for Ref*rm anyway
3. Tr*mpian misinformation desperation from the racist right.


It has been a thing for ages. Back in the 70s my father worked for the liberals, in Norfolk where they were always also rans. Every election he came back fuming about well to do landowners loitering at polling stations waiting to tell their employees who to vote for.

Haven't read all the replies, so someone might have said this already.

Farage wants us to believe that blocs of Muslim constituents collaborated to arrange to vote for a party led by a gay Jewish man.

This fella gives Michael O'Leary a good run for his money.

Democracy Volunteers appear to a bit of a one-man band (a Lib Dem academic) with a habit of seeing "family voting" (a term I'd not previously heard) everywhere they go - they claimed it was happening in Ireland in 2020 and previously in Iceland too

https://democracyvolunteers.or

Just because they've been endorsed by other official bodies, does not mean they can't also be cranks with an axe to grind.

Perhaps a strange person for you to pray in aid.

In August 2018, in an article published on the Left Foot Forward blog, the Campaign Against Antisemitism described a speech Ali had made nine years earlier as antisemitic and an "offensive rant". He was accused of comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians to the Holocaust by saying "just because you observe the niceties of Holocaust Memorial Day, it does not mean you have learned the lessons of history".

https://leftfootforward.org/20

A spokesman for Campaign Against Antisemitism told Left Foot Forward:

“We hope that Shahrar Ali is suitably ashamed of his offensive rant. Comparing Israelis to Nazis is antisemitic according to the International Definition of Antisemitism because to do so belittles the Holocaust and maximises offence by casting the victims of the Holocaust as the successors to the Nazis. Such comparisons and the people who make them should have no place in the Green Party, or indeed in British politics.”

Matt Chorley has just utterly dismantled this ridiculous claim in discussion with Robert Hayward on Radio 5.

'Family voting' can be defined and recorded as such by these DV observers (according to Hayward who brought the legislation in) as somebody standing next to the voter and not even talking or acting in any way to coerce them, other than standing next to them.

32 cases of somebody standing next to somebody else - as Hayward himself said, often it's white men standing next to white wives - and the whole right wing world is up in arms trying to undermine democracy!

Edit: He also said that election officials are often too nervous or shy to ask them to move away.

Leaving aside the fact that you often post things which appear to be designed to dismiss the views that people express because of other things they have said, what he says seems to me to be complete nonsense.

The fact is that the Greens, along with the Lib Dems, are the only parties who seem openly supportive of the non-white/immigrant population in the country and there is no reason to think that they would not have tried to appeal to such voters (whether Muslim or not) in any constituency.

Indeed, the multi-racial of London suggests to me that the Greens will do well in the GLC elections in May, given the fears for the future I have heard from friends of mine of Indian descent.

They ran a racially divisive dog whistle campaign using pictures of Starmer with Modi to exploit Muslim-Hindu tensions and of Lammy with Netanyahu to exploit Muslim-Jewish tensions.

I would say family voting amongst postal voters would probably be much more prevalent than family voting at the polling station itself so I think this is largely a fuss over nothing.
Although I think they have tightened postal voting up slightly in that you have to register for it each time now rather than having it rolling over automatically for ever.

GB seems desperate to castigate the Greens after yesterday's victory.
Most of us are just relieved that a well known racist representing a well known racist party didn't win, rather than scouring the Web for dirt on the Greens.
If you look hard enough on the web you can find an article to support any viewpoint.

nice. don't engage with what he says and just police those divisions instead. "he has already engaged in unacceptable false-thought and is therefore psychologically flawed." nice.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

So what is your view on current Deputy Leader Mothin Ali declining to sign a a pro-LGBT pledge?

https://lgbtiqa.greenparty.org

I understand he's falling back on the Sam Morsy defence.

No issue with the greens winning. I'd rather Labour had won and I'm please Reform didn't.

I'm critical of a racially divisive campaign. Were you supportive when Goldsmith ran a similar campaign against Khan? If not ten you are guilty of excusing dog whistle politics when it gets the result you want.
