Swindon, South West Wilts and Salisbury all have their own local party. It just depends on which constituency you live as to which local party you will be assigned too. However, we can all campaign together at elections.
Beginning of the year we had 335 members. This has increased a whopping 85% . We are bowled over by the number of people stepping up and willing to get involved,many of whom are young and keen to instigate a change of direction in the UK towards one of hope, compassion and inclusivity.
Whereas Green Party Councillor Declan Baseley shows kindness and compassion, attending a vigil in Chippenham to show all are welcome and that we are stronger united. He also supports the Charity Doorway, for the homeless in Chippenham. 💚

Unlike @zackpolanski.bsky.social who has just praised all those who work giving service to the public as truly patriotic and admires the work they do.

I've never heard a better political speech than that just delivered by @zackpolanski.bsky.social at #gpconf 👏

Truthfulness, decency & kindness in politics, imagine that!

Zack Polanski leads a conference shout of "migrants and refugees are welcome here"
Right now the water companies are pumping sewage into our waters and charging us for the privilege.🤮
This has to stop. Greens would take control of water and put it back into public ownership 💧🐟 🦦. No more big fat bonuses for failing.
"Anyone who's struggling right now should know we've got your back"

Can't make @greenparty.org.uk conference? You can still watch our leadership speeches on the Green Party YouTube channel or live on BBC News! 💚

Links are in the thread 👇
Very sorry to hear that. Our condolences.
Green Party modelling democracy. Policies are produced and voted on by members then taken forward by Peers, MPs and leaders.
👍💚
Green Party conference setting up now. What is different about @greenparty.org.uk? #democracy.

It is a great idea

Come on Caerphilly , be angry about the NHS, two child benefit cap and high energy bills. These are the things that are impacting on your lives right now.
Vote for Gareth Hughes @greenparty.org.uk for a better way. A wealth tax so those who have most carry the burden. That’s the Green way . 💚

Here’s the membership numbers

@greenparty.org.uk (78,000) & @scottishgreens.org (7,800) = 85,800.

Lib Dems = 83,174
🎴| 🟢Greens become fourth largest party by membership in England, Wales and Scotland.

Lib Dems pushed to fifth party by membership numbers.
@greenparty.org.uk scored positively across the board for support of public ownership of essential services.
In Wiltshire that's important because a private company, HCRG, is contracted to supply community services worth £1.3bn- money that could have gone to the NHS.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social: "Nigel Farage is a man of the wealthy people."

We asked new Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who describes himself as an eco-populist:

Why does the UK need more populism right now?
None other than East Wilts MP, Danny Kruger, who recently defected to Reform, features in this article.

We need to be aware, vigilant and denounce these threats to all our human rights.
We want policies not deity in our Parliament.
At the last election in East Wilts, Danny Kruger was the only candidate to have lost votes and could only muster support from a third of the voters. Reform came 4th.
Our voting system doesn't deliver what the people want.
We need electoral reform-#MakeVotesMatter

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.
Reform are not embarrassed that Danny Kruger believes that women shouldn't have choices over their own bodies and rule breaking by friends(Dom Cummins)and fellow Etonians, Boris is OK. Why is that?

👏 Fantastic panel at the #WildSummit UK!

📢 @tonyjuniper.bsky.social: “We need a mindset change to restore nature—currently we don’t have the legal framework to do so. We need to protect nature in a climate vulnerable world. Nature is essential for economic development and national security.”

Great to hear @guyshrubsole.bsky.social speaking at #WildSummitUK . We need a #RightToRoam along all of britains waterways, not just a limited selection.
Good to speak at today’s @wildsummituk.bsky.social on why this government needs a vision for the countryside that isn’t about soulless attacks on newts. We need a new Nature Bill that takes inspiration from Attlee’s postwar govt: making national parks wilder & creating a right of responsible access

Brilliant day in Cardiff meeting our new deputy leader @mothinali.bsky.social
There’s a real buzz of excitement for our new leadership team and the Senedd elections.
It's been an absolutely inspiring day in Cardiff today for our campaign session for the Senedd. Great to see so many Greens come out with such enthusiasm, ready to #GetGreensElected
