Incompetence on Economics: the numbers behind the Green Party's proposed wealth tax policy are not sound. Fallacies behind them include (i) taking declining % increase in growth of household wealth, cherry-picking a small sample of years and then taking an average of those numbers as opposed to the correct way to go about it, which is extrapolating it, (ii) then overestimating the amount of wealth the top 1-2% have by double, and (iii) ignoring the fact that there are stricter wealth taxes in countries like France that don't rake in as much money as the greens claim their proposed tax will collect. This is particularly concerning as it is one of the key sources of money that the Green party's proposed plans for UBI (Universal Basic Income) is dependent on - it claims that this wealth tax policy would raise £21bn to £43bn per year, however, as Andrew Neil pointed out on BBC's Sunday Politics, France's wealth tax kicks in at £800,000, which is much lower than the Green party's (which starts at £3,000,000), collects only £293,000,000, which is nowhere near the Greens' lower bound estimate of £21,000,000,000.

Incompetence on delivering Green policies: Brighton and hove's council, the only one in the country controlled by the Green Party, currently ranks 302nd out of 326 councils on its recycling record, with only 25.8% of waste recycled, despite its promise for 70% of waste to be recycled by 2015 and its threat of a £50,000 fine for putting plastic in the paper-only recycling bin.

Laziness: The Green Party is lazier than any other major party, with an attendance in local council of 79.6%, losing to LibLabCon, and UKIP, who perform best with an attendance of 92.4%.

Misandry: Green Party policy is to only imprison women who are "a serious threat to the public", despite not answering (i) no answer given by the green party as to why people with experiences of rape/DV/mental illness should not serve custody (ii) + no answer given by the green party as to why, presuming data from studies they cite from are reliable, that you can't just exclude those exact people with experiences instead of just women as a whole.

The Green party also supports Gender quotas despite the fact that research has repeatedly shown that they cause corporate performance to decline by hiring less qualified women instead of more qualified men.
