meanwhile, there's to be a vote on confidence in the Scottish government, and the person that holds the balance of power is a gender critical woman who has already said that support for Yousaf depends on his support for women's sex based rights. I have ...
This now. Crikey. BREAK: Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar will lay motion of no confidence in the Scottish government this afternoon. If SG loses it would require Humza Yousaf to resign, there is 28 days to instal a new leader or face Scottish election. ...
possible given that many of the people that would no longer vote for Labour or the Greens because of the gender identity trumps sex position had already made the decision before Hipkins was asked. Including TS commenters. But it's an odd assertion, given ...
"trans women are trans women, which means biologically male, and they appear to have same rates of violence against women as other males and thus like other males shouldn't be housed in women's prisons. Trans women are at risk of violence from men in men's...
it went into Spam because of the typo in your username.
please fix your username
heh. Who won?
Can they not run a minority government? One would hope the SNP would still be able to pass legislation with either Labour, Alba or the Greens each time. Or do they need a confidence and supply agreement to stay as government?
It's going to be an issue for Swarbrick, because there is a direct conflict between her plan to mobilise communities and the GP position of fuck off nazi terf bigot. Same with the Palestinian liberation and telling Jewish people they need to explore their ...
yes, they are. And, there are challenges coming up. The Cass Review, the MoH review of puberty blockers, and the myriad of issues that have been arising in societies elsewhere and we are just getting started on. Those aren't going away and at some point ...
fortunately for NZ, we could probably transition fast off the more insane aspects of our animal farming if we had to. Not sure we would mind (and def think we wouldn't under the current government).
my bad, it's not the UK Greens, but the GP of England and Wales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Party_of_England_and_Wales One of the more bonkers issues they've had https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimee_Knight
I've just been listening to a Scottish voter talking about the broader issues and they sound similar eg people concerned the liberal government parties are focusing on the wrong things. Climate is an issue for the split in Scotland because the SG ...
I would link to SG twitter accounts but apparently they purged all the tweets related to the CR (I haven't looked though).
Yes, they're hard core gender identity ideologists. One of the co-leaders has been full on supporting the TRA lines against the Cass Review in the past few weeks. The lessons for NZ GP and Labour are around what not to do.
non binary
Yes, but the point of the bullet points was to give examples of leftists engaging in authoritarianism, and I don't think anyone has actually addressed that. Instead assumptions were made that I was agin Labour's pandemic response, which isn't what I said (...
I wasn't talking about the MP/Party make up. I was talking about the issues that matter to voters and why the SNP and SGs are in such a mess. The last big dip I am aware of for the SNP was when Sturgeon was interviewed and couldn't explain how trans women ...
also interesting is how similar the issues are to here. I'm listening in to a Scottish Space on twitter, and there is commentary like how much the Highlands and Islands have been neglected and the government focused on the cities. Too much about NB toilets...
former SNP đ Such an interesting political fallout. I can't figure out how much is about the failure of the climate targets, how much is Cass Report, and how much is Independence. Quick reminder of the numbers - SNP 63, Tories 31 + Labour 22 + Lib Dems 4 +...
It comes up periodically, even before the pandemic. There are lefties who believe so strongly in vaccination and don't value the right to not be forced into medical treatment. They're not large in number, but they do exist. What I don't get is why it's a ...
My question is this: why do the liberal left believe that ostracising those people will lead to more people adopting progressive values and voting in progressive governments? Do "the liberal left" believe that? Apparently yes. No Debate in the gender/sex ...
part of my shortness yesterday is because I'm long term beneficiary who is currently being knocked down directly by government policy. So high handedness works both ways eh. To clarify then. You appear to believe that I am/was against the vax programme and...
For clarification â was the ethic of âworking for the good of allâ lost/replaced due (in part) to (mis)perceptions and misinformation (bullet points 1 and 3) about "the leftâs authoritarianism"? Maybe some Kiwis were simply fed up, and you can'r get no ...
some initial clarification. In the post I said, Yes, we needed a nationwide vaccination programme, lock downs, and mandates. Yes, trans and other gender non-conforming people deserve to take full part in society and be protected from violence and ...
so why aren't orgs like the CTU in the media as much as the other orgs you mention?
huh, interesting. I suspected some people are having to fill in each time, which partially accounts for the typos in names or emails.
NZ doesn't use compulsory vaccination, and the mandates didn't force anyone to be vaccinated. We use compulsory treatments in very very limited circumstances like acute mental health crises where someone is a danger, or where a parent isn't taking a child ...
what time are you referring to? The Greens aren't seeking ascendency for its own sake. They've just had enough of waiting for Labour to lead the left. The continuation of Hipkins and the departure of Shaw left space for the leftists in the GP to say now is...
I feel like we need to start doing BLiP style lists. I can't keep up. "Hiring freeze leaves Oranga Tamariki without lawyers in Gisborne and Southland" https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2024/04/hiring-freeze-leaves-oranga-tamariki-without-lawyers-in-...
so generally on your phone, the details are saved? Is that automatic? (there have been a few people having to fill in the fields, not sure why, but useful to know it was a cache clearing thing for you)
