Whistleblowing Allegation: Corruption of Green Party Internal Democracy
I have today called for urgent, independent investigation into facts surrounding subversion of will of conference in taking of controversial motion on #DQSH last weekend #GPC22 👇

As an ordinary member, I write to blow the whistle on evidence of serious wrongdoing in the Green Party of England and Wales and I believe it to be both in the interest of the Party and the wider public interest to do so.

Late motion "Solidarity with DQSH" taken without due authority of conference. There are multiple grounds to believe that this part of a determined effort by some to pass the motion “at all costs”, the chief obstacle to doing so being to make sure that plenary time made for it.

The purpose of this whistleblowing complaint is primarily to ascertain the truth and to safeguard our reputation. It cannot be assessed ahead of establishing the full facts what further reputational damage could be caused to the Party.

There is reputational damage caused by prioritising and seeking to pass a controversial motion on DQSH ahead of what others might consider to be the core business of the party on energy, environment and human rights.

There is also reputational damage caused by appearance of cover-up or collusion in what appears to be a serious breach of trust of members in the conduct of conference; the supreme decision-making body of our Party.

If there has been misconduct or manipulation of party process this goes to heart of our very ability to function as a democratic political party. Only by tackling this head-on that we can restore our credibility, & ultimately our reputation, to claim to be party unlike any other.

In absence of full, independent investigation I believe this motion must be recalled. Other motions were deprived of the time, or opportunity for advancement, that this motion on DQSH was wrongly given, which represents a totally unprecedented breach of trust of our governance.

It is certainly unprecedented in the twenty years I have been active as a member of this esteemed party of ours.

It is with a heavy heart that I must submit this Whistleblowing allegation.

Shooting messenger: It's laughably desperate to claim "sour grapes" on part of those who voted against solidarity DQSH. A revelation came about day after conference that a proposer of late motion on energy that should have been taken next, if it all, had not withdrawn his motion!

That revelation flatly contradicted assertion of a co-chair on Saturday, who just happened also to be lead proposer of DQSH.

First time in 40 conferences I've participated in that such a prioritisation failure has happened.

Imperative we have urgent, independent investigation.
