Update: please email Miriam Ross @ generalmanager@greens.org.nz if you are prepared to support my nomination.
-I need 5 people (defined as Green Party members) prepared to nominate me for the role of co-leader of the NZ Greens. I don't think that the tomorrow is defined that well, anyway it is Wednesday 14th February. They don’t define timezones as far as I know. So midnight in Hawaii would effectively extend this to close to midnight on the 15th February here in New Zealand. And all it takes is an email and a name (and later your birthdate) to join.
Remember this?
Well it’s the same with the NZ Green Party. I don’t think that you have to be living here in New Zealand (or as referred to by many Greens - Aotea Rower*) to nominate me nor to vote for me.
So just click on this link and sign up. Or you know click the image below (come on CJ I know that you’re aching to give this a go)
It’s only $5 NZD if you’re unwaged.
If they insist on a NZ address at some stage well PO Box 6024, Dunedin North 9016 should work fine. If it doesn’t just email me.
After you’ve done that, or if you’re already a member, notify me at +64-27-627-4732 (+64 is the NZ country code) or at richard@southernindependents.co.nz of your willingness to nominate me as an upstanding sort of guy (blush..)
Although they say there is a vetting phase in their response email to you signing up they also acknowledge you as a member. And yes there are some requirements but these are not defined very well either. So subjective is the word of the day.
What chance do I have to win this? Saving a miracle basically buckleys. But at least some will see that I’m a far better green than Chloe Swarbrick and that I would be far better for the job than her as well.
Who else is nominating? Only one other than Chloe Swarbrick so far and he’s already getting some bad press because Chloe is the annointed one;
She is also batshit insane. Chloe is btw, the one who was tasked with making “ok boomer” a derogatory term around the world. Well Chloe this boomer is far more a green than you will ever even imagine yourself. You fascist fake.
If some of my enemies see this then there will be a couple of other nominations by tomorrow. There may be anyway. It will be amusing to see whom.
I sent an email to Miriam Ross requesting they extend the deadline for nominations. They politely declined my request due missing the deadline. I miscalculated time zones. Richard was copied on my email and Miriam Ross's reply.
I havn't heard back so far and have some gardening to get back to. Will pop back with any news later in the day (it's a few minutes before 3pm here).
