To ask who you are voting for?

Nope. Life was much better under the last Labour government. Anyone thinking Tories aren’t worse has selective memory. Parties. Proroguing Parliament illegally. Lying. Tractor porn. Liz Truss. And on and on.

I hadn't seen that one... just how many of these perverted "women" are there?

Agree with this.

Labour will be a disaster again; people have very selective memories.

I used to vote SNP but won't be again. Totally undecided for this GE.

Will be staying up all night to watch. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Conservative get voted back in. In Scotland think Labour will get in.

Do you think they are stating it because they believe it and intend to legislate for it (if so why haven’t they already?) Or is it more likely they are saying it because it gets them a few votes from gullible people?

You don’t rely on the NHS? Policing? The Fire Service? The Courts? State schools (even if your kids go private, you must realise most of the people you’ll rely on are state educated?)? Refuse collection? And so on and on… nobody can say they don’t rely on public services. What are you thinking he meant that you don’t agree with?

Lib Dem. They're the only challengers to the Tories where I am, plus I like the candidate, and I agree with many of their policies

Tories. Labour don't seem to be able to protect women's only spaces. They can't answer a simple question. And if they can't even say what a biological woman is then they won't get more challenging tasks right like the nhs and tax

Lib Dem for me.
Have voted Tory and Labour in the past, but so disappointed in the mess the Tories have left the country in and horrified at Labour's plans for private schools. The Lib Dem manifesto makes the most sense and our local candidate seems to have the most initiative and humanity. I think that Reform and the Lib Dens will do better than predicted, but sadly I think we're heading towards a Labour government.

I was talking to her.

You really think Reform will keep their promises?

Here you go

the tories haven’t protected my children from this

labour won’t protect my children from this

the NHS won’t protect my children from this

and

the police won’t protect my children from this.

vote #Reform.

I get that, @NextPhaseOfLife, but the Greens won't be governing nationally and won't get enough support for batshit/unpopular policies.

It's just that, no matter how many voters spoil their ballots, someone is going to get elected. It's just a question of by how much, because that's what will make the difference going forward.

If you do a bit of research into the Green Party in the area of self identification over the past few years, I think you'll be shocked at what you find.

I was strongly considering Green, @SlothOnARope but their manifesto also includes campaigning for the right for self-identification.

It's buried quite deep in their information and I was really disappointed because up until that point, I did feel I had a party I could vote for.

Labour vote here

I cannot have the immoral Tory party in government. I will never forgive Boris and Matt Hancock for the way they behaved in Covid.

To be fair the labour candidate here is very good …. So he would have my vote for what he wants for the area. The Tory mp we have is a nice enough guy but hasn’t a clue …. He’s achieved not very much since he was voted in!

Of course, and given the current tragic state of politics, nationally that's probably a good thing.

But a big increase in Green voters sends a message that people care about the environment.

Post-election, when the Greens have more attention, the public can start telling them that the batshit policies have to go.

@Itsprobablynotcominhome oh, I don't know, because you quoted the poster's response to me which included my tag, perhaps?????

What makes you think i was addressing you?

@Itsprobablynotcominhome

Where have I said I expect parties to denounce trans-anyone?

You're deliberately being inflammatory.

Voting Green- one reason only and that is the climate crisis. Whoever gets in to power has to take it deadly seriously and sadly Labour have rowed back on the green new deal and their climate pledges.
Also all of Carla Denyer, Adrian Ramsay and Sian Berry come across as decent people whose voices in Parliament would be great. Why we have to hear people like Farage and Tice all the time and barely ever the greens I don’t know.

@Onomatofear At the very minimum, the conservatives know that being able to state the definition of a biological woman is a differentiator for them.

It's one that is vitally important to me. I can not vote for a party that cares so little about the value of my very biology.

I don't think that matters to the "feminists" of Mumsnet.

It seems as long as the person in question denounces trans people it doesn't matter what that person has or hasn't done for women - as shown by all the support kemi badenoch was garnering the other day, despite her continually voting against women - for example voting against legislation that would enable women to access safer abortions. There's no evidence that she done anything to improve things for women but she's a hero to some Mumsnetters apparently.

@SlothOnARope

Labour are likely to win.

Reform. I hope my kids will able to leave home one day and have reasonably priced accommodation that isn't full of illegal immigrants.
