“As a matter of fairness, we should then also consider the needs and wishes of the Greens of Colour, Disability Groups and Senior Greens, all having a valid claim to represent – partially even overlapping – some of the Green Party members.”

“The Council must reflect the diversity of our Party, and our society. Reservation of spaces must be open to all groups to ensure effective equality and diversity. Of course, LGBTIQA+ must be part of that. In short, this pledge must be extended to ensure there is full representation across our diversity.”

“I clicked on ‘qualified support’ as the question does not implicitly detail what it is referring to. I fully support the implementation of the WHO/Europe policy, as set out in this context in ICD-11, in preference to ideologically based policies – and assume that is what the question refers to.”
