The @Greens leadership plebiscite result is in, with over 46% of members participating — a huge grassroots turnout! It’s clear members are demanding a change to the status quo and a say in how our leaders are elected.
Closing today! Don’t forget to vote for members to elect the Australian Greens leader. This is a massive opportunity to grow and democratise our movement - make sure you have your say 🗳

Hi @SenatorSurfer, I noted with interest your comments yesterday about the #OneMemberOneVote question for selecting Greens leaders. Would you be up for having an open public discussion about it so we can better understand each other's perspectives?
The Democrats also had a (crazy!) provision where just 100 members could spill the leadership. This not part of the proposal Greens members are being asked to support & not used by any of the many Greens parties worldwide that give their members a say in their leadership /6
Instability in Democrats' leadership over their 30 year life arose not from members being able to vote for their Leader, but from people refusing to accept an outcome. As Abbott, Rudd & others have shown, that can cause havoc in any party, no matter the decision making process /5
I wasn't going to respond to the article by Greens ex-leaders opposing members having a say on party leadership, but feel I must correct the comments on the Australian Democrats. Many factors that led to the Democrats demise. Members deciding the leadership wasn't one of them /1
The vote on how we elect the leader of the Greens is now open, and it’s an exciting moment for the party, a moment we should seize, emphasising our commitment to democracy. Let’s do this, folks. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Former Greens leaders explaining the results of the member plebiscite x.com/oz_f/status/12…
@Greens4DL Yeah, I meant the constitutional requirement once it was put to plebiscite in this way
Greens members - don’t forget to vote in the leadership plebiscite #OneMemberOneVote
Closing today! Don’t forget to vote for members to elect the Australian Greens leader. This is a massive opportunity to grow and democratise our movement - make sure you have your say 🗳
Building a transformative Green New Deal means a confrontation with fossil capital. The Greens won’t do it unless we grow, organize and democratise the leadership. We need one member one vote. From me in Jacobin: jacobinmag.com/2020/05/austra…

This thread from @AndrewBartlett sets the record straight on democratic choice of party leader and the Australian Democrats. He should know, he was there for it all. The lesson for the @Greens is to empower members over MPs
I wasn't going to respond to the article by Greens ex-leaders opposing members having a say on party leadership, but feel I must correct the comments on the Australian Democrats. Many factors that led to the Democrats demise. Members deciding the leadership wasn't one of them /1
@jonathan_sri I’d love to. I’ve always believed respectful open public discourse on such matters is important. Can you DM to discuss timing, format etc? Ta
The Democrats also had a (crazy!) provision where just 100 members could spill the leadership. This not part of the proposal Greens members are being asked to support & not used by any of the many Greens parties worldwide that give their members a say in their leadership /6
Instability in Democrats' leadership over their 30 year life arose not from members being able to vote for their Leader, but from people refusing to accept an outcome. As Abbott, Rudd & others have shown, that can cause havoc in any party, no matter the decision making process /5
I think it’s obvious they were right to do so. Few observers would dispute that this saved the party some seats at the subsequent federal election. I’d also be surprised if many Greens voters, then or now, thought that enabling John Howard to implement the GST was a good idea. /4
when a majority of Democrat MPs decided to support the Howard govt to introduce the GST. Refusal to accept deep upset of many members led to the membership deciding to back Natasha Stott Despoja over Meg Lees for the leadership in 2001- in part a proxy vote on the GST decision /3
The article explicitly links the Democrats demise to the party leadership being elected by its members, & says the Democrats membership & MPs “were often in conflict over who should lead the party.” This is just not the case. It happened once in 1999, relating to the GST /2
The vote on how we elect the leader of the Greens is now open, and it’s an exciting moment for the party, a moment we should seize, emphasising our commitment to democracy. Let’s do this, folks. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The Greens are founded on grassroots democracy – this must include the leadership vote. Call for internal democracy from current and former Greens MPs across the country @mcberkman @TammyMLC @MehreenFaruqi and @Scottludlam theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@anika_gauja There are two different proposals to change the status quo to either 50/50 party room/members or OMOV. But there are two separate votes to implement either proposal. If one gets over 66% it wins, but if both do the third ballot is tiebreaker. x.com/greens4dl/stat…
The member plebiscite to decide how we elect the leader of the Australian Greens opens today! Here's how to vote for democratic election of the leader with #OneMemberOneVote
Adam supported democratizing the leadership process in 2018. Thanks Adam. @Greens4DL

some thoughts on leadership models and direct membership involvement in the greens - with @MehreenFaruqi @mcberkman @TammyMLC and @timhollo theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
For a minute I wondered why there were 3 separate ballots rather than just preferential but it seems like the status quo will prevail unless one of the alternatives gets 66%. If both alternatives get 66% against the status quo the more popular option wins.
