@MarkSquiresWine@mastodon.social @andrewducker@mastodon.scot I assume the Electoral Commission doesn’t give a f*ck. they have ignored many other attempts by parties to suggest their candidates are Greens without so much as a whimper.

@Wen@mastodon.scot @MarkSquiresWine@mastodon.social @andrewducker@mastodon.scot Try setting yourself up as the "Conservation Union Party" or the "Labouring Red Rose Party" and see how far you get. It's not even "just" hypothetical confusion either. "'Independent Green Voice', a fake party [...] with a logo that has the word “Green” prominent, and stands exclusively to confuse voters and rob the real Greens of votes. They definitely cost the Greens one seat in 2021, and quite likely two." https://ballotbox.scot/sp26-final-projection/
