Summary of motions to Autumn Conference - A51 to A100

A51 Oppose Social Media Ban - Digital ID by the backdoor - no text so far.

A52 Pollution Draft Voting Paper - complete overhaul of chapter. Not sure what's changed.

A53 Liberation for Children and Young People - greater autonomy for children, including in schools, medical decisions, custody, online. 4

A54 Energy Inequality and Crisis Support - a timely clarification on fossil fuel subsidies and economic support during crises. 4

A55 Marine and Coastal Policy Full Voting Paper 2026 - first major review in some years. Many local and international elements. Pollution, fair transition for coastal communities, labeling in fish products (are they farmed and what QoL, if any, do they have). Feminism in fishing is not really a major concern of mine. Phasing out the consumption of marine fauna as food is not a long term aim.

A56 Amendments to Peace, Security and Defence policy - expansion of policy on space and satellite redundancy, cybersecurity and international cooperation post Brexit, esp wrt Good Friday Agreement. Proposes defence review. We have just had one but the GP would base analysis in different criteria about what our role in the modern world should really be. 3

A57 Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing Recognition - acknowledges atrocities taking place in Burma, Armenia, Ukraine, Sudan and China. It would be good to acknowledge these atrocities but there will inevitably be questions about which ones are left out. 3

A58 The Green Party and the monarchy - tbc

A59 Education Draft Voting Paper - v long

A60 SEND/ALN Support and Education - addresses disparities between regions, especially the Welsh-English border, accepting diagnoses from regulated professionals, ringfence funding for send. 4

A61 A Nationally Owned Food Retailer - not coordinated with food and agriculture PWG. Not sure how much prices could really be reduced. 2

A62 Accountability for Green MPs - call for the Parliamentary Green Party to publish a constitution for the Parliamentary Green Party. 4

A63 The Green Way to Health - v long

A64 No place for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a fair and humane system of asylum - AI is being used to summarise interviews in a way that is inaccurate 9% of the time. It is inherently biased due to the training data. Could be expanded to explain this. 4

A65 Overhaul Fiscal Rules, Update Government Economic Management and Banking Section of Economy Chapter - a few changes to economics - a fiscal policy committee to replace the inflexible fiscal rules, regulating banking and providing a public alternative, using the tap system for raising government funds. 4

A66 Update Business Section of Economy Chapter - erasing references to "third sector", which is poorly defined, greater powers for Competition & Markets Authority, breaking up the monopoly of the big 4 accountancy firms, restrictions on private equity. 4

A67 Update Intellectual Property (IP) Section of Economy Paper - switching to a more nuanced view on IP rather than blanket opposition, working to make IP work for innovation and not against it. Right to repair and modify etc. Apparently not filed directly. Not sure if this is an improvement.

A68 Improve self-determination for the Welsh Green Party -"Wales Green Party Council should have equal ability to promote a motion to GPEW conference if it concerns matters pertinent to Wales. Additionally, for matters of Constitutional interpretation Wales Standing Orders Committee should be the final authority on matters to do with Wales constitutional matters." 4

A69 Under 18's pricing to attend conference - much reduced pricing for under 18s. Lotta typos. 4

A70 Real Security: Leadership for new European Common Security Architecture - against European militarism and defence budget increases. Against NATO - needs proper analysis.

A71 Culture, Media and Sport Voting Paper - full update. CMS regulators fully independent, proper safeguarding, UBI for artists, subsidising touring, including outside Europe - sustainable? No vat on small and medium venues, increased tax on large ones. Social prescribing - live cultural experience for health. "CMS308 All media organisations have a duty to prevent racist, violent and other discriminatory content. Failure to live up to these expectations should include being forced to cease operations." - what are the implications of this? Limiting monopoly power. Mutualise BBC and enable democratic oversight and involvement. Social media platforms within BBC. Major restrictions on advertising by harmful industries. Unisex changing rooms? "We will not allow a national team to represent the UK in competition against a country with whom normal, friendly, respectful or diplomatic relations are not possible or where host governments restrict freedom of access to supporters and media." - seems a bit much

A72 Strategic Update to Green Party Security and Defence Policy - some strong ideas to improve PSD. Dialed back in some areas. Some members of the PSD PWG have been upset not to have known anything about this motion. 4

A73 Update to Children, families and young adults policies section SW300-SW315 - several changes, including to rights of children, universal childcare and courts etc. 4

A74 Terrorism policy review - simply a motion enabling the review of this policy and setting a timetable for its execution. 4

A75 Change to Local Party Boundary Rules - constitutional amendment to allow local parties to be formed with sections of constituencies, if the whole constituency does not want to form a single party. 4

A76 Revision of Transport Policy Chapter in Policies for a Sustainable Society - first major update in ~20 years apparently. Quite an overwhelming quantity.

A77 Enable Internal Disability Policy Work - proposes more training, changes to procedures and strategies to make things more accessible, give Disabled Greens more institutional power. Language policing seems rather excessive.

A78 Unifying Policy to End Israel's Racism - an alternative to A3. Just a placeholder at this time but members can contribute if they wish.

A79 Internally elected Officers agree to adhere to the Nolan Principles - "The 7 Nolan Principles are: Selflessness; Integrity; Objectivity; Accountability; Openness; Honesty; Leadership;" - not sure how these principles are reinforced.

A80 Ensure proper evidence based reviews follow scientific best practice - anti-manipulation standards to approach the issue of government - sanctioned bad science, with examples in the Cass Review and PACE trial. 4

A81 Membership subscription and capitation rates - tbc

A82 2027 Membership and capitation rates - tbc

A83 Democracy, Government & Constitution Draft Voting Paper - overhaul of this chapter. Favours AMS with multi member constituencies elected by stv. Roughly even split between contituency members and additional ones. Electronic voting?? More power to electoral commission. £10k annual limit for individuals and organisations. Unions exempt. More state funding to parties that receive >5% of the vote. Stricter limits on what constitutes local vs national spending. "DGC1002 In a House of Commons elected under a proportional voting system, it is unlikely that any political party will gain an overall majority of seats. The appointment of a Prime Minister will therefore be subject to a vote of the House of Commons, and hence will not necessarily fall to the leader of the party with the largest number of MPs." - would other parties join together to undermine the Greens for example? New Third Chamber - people's assembly, selected by sortition. Head of State elected by Parliament?? Lot of work to be done here.

A84 Moving Forward Co-operatively - sets timetable and requests funds for finalising long transition to cooperative status for gpew. 4

A85 Inclusion update to Anti-Racism policy - adds Sikhs, Hindus and Palestinians.

A86 Protecting the Right to Protest: Repeal the Expansion of “Key National Infrastructure” Protest Offences

A87 There is a crisis in Healthcare. We need freedom of speech for NHS staff, protection of NHS patient data from Palantir and support for international NGOs delivering healthcare to Gaza. - concerns Palantir, unequal standards re: protest, NHS Anti-Semitism guidance, medical evacs and medical workers killed and taken hostage. Not sure about Jerusalem definition.

A88 Worker's Rights Bill 2 - extensive changes. Doesn't look like relevant PWG has been involved as of yet.

A89 Prevent conflicts of interest in national governance or executive roles - this seems to be anyone that donates over £11800 in a calendar year. Not sure what impact this would have.

A90 Creation of Internal Organisation Working Group - TBC. Could be v interesting.

A91 Clarify Defection Processes for Councillors and MPs - a simple change but something clearly needs to be done here. 4

A92 Amend PA 104: The Head of State shall be democratically elected by the People. - some questions about whether this should be direct democracy, as in Eire or a different mechanism.

A93 From Confrontation to Peace with Iran: A Green Foreign Policy for Diplomacy and Human Rights - against sanctions and for democracy. Perhaps needs to make a more nuanced case in light of our support for BDS. 3

A94 A Trade Union Strategy to Win - TBC

A95 Clarifying Our Eco-Socialist Principles - probably a useful debate to have. Might not be ready as a party yet but this is the direction of movement. 3

A96 The Workers' Charter - tbc

A97 Allow our staff voice at GPC and GPEx - a representative of staff unions is already by custom invited to these meetings but this would formalise in the constitution. 4

A98 Form the Green Party UK by federating with Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland’s Greens. - NI Greens is part of the Irish Green Party and Scotland should be left to decide what relationship it wants to have with us. 1

A99 Justice, Not War, For Iran - much frustration between the two camps. This motion also seeks relax widespread sanctions and focus on individual ones, restrict arms to Israel and US. It supports financial proscription against irgc rather than normalisation of relations.

A100 Sustainable Development and Mitigating the Environmental Impact of Large-Scale Data Centre Development - a range of mitigations for impact of data centres on communities and environment. 4
