Does the Green Party need a Youtube Channel? YouTube video by Alexander Sallons

Here momentarily to tell you all I've made a video, arguing the Green Party needs to need to start a proper YouTube channel.

Let me know what you think!

Welcome to the party Rob 👍🏼

Is this satire? This cannot be a serious question.

"If I’m elected on Thursday, it will send shockwaves through the political establishment and show that the old way of doing politics is over... The establishment’s days are numbered."

Thursday's stakes could not be higher.

I still do not have a clue who will win the Gorton and Denton by-election but the Greens say that in six hours today they leafleted all 40,000-plus households, done by 400 volunteers, which does show Lib Dem-style levels of dedication to campaigning (and to the printing trade).

A pleasure this evening to talk with Brighton & Hove Green Party as @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social's Finance Chair.

Lots to discuss, including our budget experiences, moving from opposition to administration, and dealing with Labour mismanagement.

Thanks for inviting me @bhgreens.bsky.social! 💚

Help us make hope normal again.

Join the Green Party now.

Extraordinary polling from @yougov.co.uk today, showing the @greenparty.org.uk in first place across all working age people

🟢Grn - 20.5%
🔴Lab - 20.3%
⚫Ref - 20.1%
🔵Con - 15.5%

baffling why 60% of pensioners are supporting Con/Ref who will slash public spending that mainly goes to pensioners

Honestly I had multiple nervous bathroom visits before making this speech. Thanks to everyone for their support!

I'll take the rage bait traffic. 👍🏼

The headline is Abolish Landlords.

The motion itself says it's an effective abolition, ie, not a straight ban but a process of dismantling the private rental sector through taxes and regulation while building council housing.

Again, you could read for yourself. It's not that taxing a task.

"remove the ban idea"

You haven't read it then.

You can only really have a serious discussion if you read it.

That's a fact btw. You wouldn't care. I have made you care about it by calling it something provocative.

If it wasn't called Abolish Landlords you wouldn't be talking about it.

ABOLISH LANDLORDS NOW! — Alexander Sallons

You literally haven't read the motion.

You haven't read the motion.

The main problem is that most of this policy, which will shrink the private rental sector, has been policy for 4 years, we need to make it a national issue and this is the way to do that, by calling a spade a spade.

And yeah man, I'll be there, say hello. 👍🏼

The idea that just because Germany's rents are marginally lower than the UK's means they don't have a housing crisis is devoid of reality. The Netherland's rents are slightly lower, and housing will dominate our general election.

Thanks Alex!

Berliners vote 'yes' on property expropriation – DW – 09/27/2021 A referendum proposing that authorities in Berlin seize and take into public ownership more than 200,000 homes has passed resoundingly. But political and legal hurdles mean it may never become reality...

Germany has large corporate landlords as opposed to the dominance of small individual landlords in the UK.

Berlin literally had a referendum on expropriating the large landlords and they voted yes.

CBA with doing this "Progressive Alliance" bollocks for another decade.

I will simply vote Green and campaign for as many years as it takes to get a Green MP. I don't care to try and game the system like a middle class armchair general.

I'd rather that than Molly's personal brand of absolute mind numbing boredom politics.

Absolutely nothing exciting ever, that's the Scott Cato prospectus.

Amazing. No notes.

Playing by imagined establishment rules rather than carving your own path. Literally nobody is asking you to be racist it's disingenuous to suggest any reporter is asking the Greens to be racist.

They're saying be populist. Be interesting. Pick fights. Jfc this isnt that deep.

But in the interview @carladenyer.bsky.social literally describes what @lewisgoodall.com said we do!

Play by the rules, sit in the chamber, write letters and debates, submit amendments. "Oooh isn't it bad Reform aren't in the chamber"

Reform are all over the headlines. They're winning rn!

This is where Leftwing media can be useful to the movement. What are the leaders doing to improve the party and its Comms? What is their plan to improve it? Don't get fobbed off witha nice answer really go at it!

I thought I might be being uncharitable but the lovely interviewer kept trying to point out that @greenparty.org.uk is terrible at social media and Carla can't respond with much.

They're only now developing a strategy to work as MPs?! Wtf? They've been candidates for almost 3 years!

To get there, we need a new generation on GPEx. And get rid of @greenpartymolly.bsky.social. 👍🏼
