In this column, list of some Green Party candidates for election, Sheffield 2026, with names of Wards. Below, information / comment on the names highlighted. I include previous election results, if any. The material here will be revised and extended and material on other candidates will be added, but not in the case of candidates who are already councillors, seeking re-election. The full list of candidates for the 2026 election is provided on the Home Page. The material on this page will not be deleted after the election results have been announced, for various reasons. One reason is that candidates who don't succeed in an election very often have the chance to contest a seat in a different ward David Willington (Stocksbridge and Upper Don) and Julie White (Mosborough) are the supreme examples here: examples of misguided and misdirected tenacity,it could be claimed. Andy Davies has contested a parliamentary constituency, but did not become Andy Davies MP.
Photographs of Green Party candidates to illustrate this page would be desirable - but images have much less importance for me than argument and evidence. I observe copyright, and don't use published images which are in copyright. The law allows photographs - and filming - of people with practically no restrictions. I restrict my own activities - for example, no photographs of children. Attendance at a single Green Party event might well give me many suitable photographs. I took this photograph of Andy Davies, the Walkley candidate, after correcting the misapprehension of another party worker, name unknown. He had no idea that photography of this kind was allowed, legal. For the time being, I'm dependent upon links to other sites - mainly Green Party sites - which illustrate the text with photographs. I include a link to a photograph which shows some candidates for this election.
Above, Andy Davies. Below, links to Green Party text and photographs.
Below, there are links to Green Party Website pages which provide images of people and events. This is a small selection:
The second image on the page
https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/sheffield-green-party-elections-2026
shows assorted Sheffield Green Party functionaries, although quite a number are missing. These people were standing outside Sheffield Town Hall, the place where Councillor Alexi Dimond delivered his shockingly mindless speech. More information on the page Don't vote for the Green Party. Don't donate to the Green Party. He can be seen in the photograph on back row at far left. In the front row are two candidates for election, preparing to launch themselves into competitive political life, with its possible or inevitable exposure to publicity in the public domain, good and bad publicity.
On the front row far left is Richard Tinsley, candidate for the Hillsborough Ward. On the far right is Maia Salman-Lord (City.) In the centre of the middle row is Andy Davies (Walkley). In my experience, all the elected Green Party Councillors are experienced evaders of awkward questions but none of them can be sure that this situation will continue. Towards the centre of the front row is the Leader-with-no-leadership-qualities-whatsoever, Zak Polanski.
The second image on the page
https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/news/2025/three-parties-lead-sheffield-city-council-third-year
shows other leaders. The least able by far - as I see it - is Angela Argenzio. I knew her well. Toby Mallinson is someone I also knew well. Over a long period of time (20 years in my case) we were members of Sheffield Amnesty International. For most of that time, I was the Death Penalty Co-ordinator for the group, although I worked on very many other issues. Toby Mallinson is more obviously fanatical than Angela Argenzio but she has no shortage of views I find dismaying and harmful.
The photograph shows, in the middle, the Leader of Sheffield City Council, Tom Hunt, one of the Councillors for the Ward where I live. To the right is the Leader of the Sheffield Liberal Democrat party. These three are established in an arrangement which could be called a political necessity but one which has serious disadvantages. The Labour Party has the greatest number of Councillors but no party has an absolute majority.
I regard the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats as belonging to a different category completely from the Green Party. I'm critical of various policies of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats and many people with positions in the parties, but they have important strengths - unlike the Green Party. I've no need to specify and explain the weaknesses of the Green Party because the site already contains so much evidence.
The Green Party in Sheffield has an influence out of all proportion to its electoral results and its councillors. Sheffield Green Party is discredited - and its Councillors are discredited. The same applies to the national level.
The page
https://sheffieldgreenparty.org.uk/council-election-2022/eamonn-ward/
shows Eamonn Ward, a prominent (and negligible) supporter of Sheffield Green Party. He's holding a sign 'SHEFFIELD ZERO CARBON 2030.' Success has eluded him in the elections he's conducted as the Green Party candidate.for various wards, Darnall, Firth Park and Richmond. In the election of 2016 he received 116 votes, in 2019 he received 181 votes, tried again in 2021 and received no less than 277 votes. In 2022 he received 214 votes, in 2023 173 votes but in 2024 the astonishing number of 438 votes, despite his obvious limitations. Does he confine his reading to Green Party publications? I don't think for one moment that he has the wide ranging background knowledge needed to arrive at a fair-minded assessment of the Net-Zero-by-2030 issues, which are very, very complex. The difficulties of achieving this result over such a short time-scale are formidable. In fact, the chance of achieving Net Zero by then are surely non-existent.
Andy Davies took part in the parliamentary election of 4 July 2024 for the Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency. He gained 2,044 votes, 4.6% of the total votes cast.
David Willington has a long record of competing in elections and failing in elections. It's extraordinary that he's been given the chance to prove himself yet again. This documentation gives only the year and the number of votes cast. The party has stayed the same, the Green Party, and the Ward has stayed the same, Stocksbridge and Upper Don and the result has stayed the same: not elected.
2018 409 votes
2019 596 votes
2021 596 votes
2022 733 votes
2023 390 votes
2024 607 votes
Along with David Willingon, someone with a certain amount of patience. Perhaps this will be the election where she triumphs, or perhaps not.
Julie White's election results:
2024 150 votes
2023 105 votes
2022 235 votes
2021 220 votes
2019 225 votes
2018 153 votes
