To ask who you are voting for?

It's abhorrent that all parties except Conservatives have erosion of women's rights in their manifestos.

I am undecided=confused/disappointed etc
i had thought of spoiling my vote as I see a number of other people are thinking of doing
but now think that I need to vote for someone even if it’s only someone where I agree with some of their policies if not all - that may increase the number of seats for parties other than the main two…

Labour. Because I think it will be better for my children and grandchildren. Not me necessarily”

Yes, same.

I think what a lot pf people are feeling is that, we all know that the Tories are no fried to women for the reasons you give

None of rhe other parties are any better though. Greens and Lib Dems have previously stated that, if you are a woman who does not believe TWAW, they do not even want your vote.

The Women's Equality Party - all women are equal but some are more equal than others (the ones with penises).

I said yesterday that local socialist candidate looked good but there it is on their manifesto that they will promote trangsender and non binary rights and oppose transphobia (they mean women).

I won't he voting Tory and I certainly wouldn't vote Reform and I can understand that people will vote for the other main parties on issues that they feel are more important.

But I keep coming back to how can anything be more important that recognising the existence of half the population? If we don't exist and we can't be named, we have no rights anyway.

This is the problem. Far from protecting women's rights, many of the parties are talking about actively removing them.

There's a big difference between doing nothing to help and doing something to harm. If you're hanging from a ledge and I don't try to save you, that's pretty crappy of me; if I stand on your fingers so you fall, that's significantly worse.

Not sure what Boris has to do with anything, he's neither in the current government nor attempting to be elected into the next? An ex-MP's romantic life wouldn't influence my vote personally, but each to their own! Are you claiming that there are no members of Labour, either current or previous, who have ever behaved badly in their personal life? Presumably if you discover there has ever been someone who has behaved worse than Boris, you will refuse to vote Labour?

The party who wants to leave the ECHR won’t remove your rights? Eh? How do you work that out?

Yes the Tories do know what the definition of a woman is. They don’t give a fuck about them though.

Labour are misogynistic? Boris Johnson literally voted against making misogyny a hate crime.

Rape convictions in England and Wales fell to historic lows under this government. In 2022, 99% of reported rapes did not end in a conviction. Ninety. Nine. Percent.

Should I talk about the shocking maternity care, the closure of domestic violence services and refuges or the lack of mental health support under the Tories too?

But they know how to SAY “A woman is an adult human female”, so actions don’t matter 🙄

THIS.

Labour for me.

My constituency is a tory stronghold, and might well stay that way, but I just can't bring myself to vote Tory. Never have, never will.
Used to swing between Lib Dem and Labour in my younger days, but now tend to always go Labour.

Scary

Independent. Good local policies.

Reform

1. Reduce immigration
2. Defund the BBC
3. End the green nonsense
4. Depoliticise the QANGOS & civil service
5. Public inquiry into excess deaths & vaccine harms
6. They know what a woman is

@bozzabollix I may vote for the tories because they will not remove my rights, most of the other parties want to make me a "non-man" or tell me to defer to anything a man wants. Fuck that. No party is offering me anything to vote for, only to vote against. So you can vote with your bollocks or for those who value them above women.

Love how many women are voting Conservative ‘because they know what a woman is’. Yeah they know how to identify the very set of people they continue to do fuck all for, and Boris needs to know who to shag and leave.

Labour - no. Several reasons but a big one is that they do not align with me on the countryside which is exceptionally important to me.

Conservatives - look at the fucking state of the country.

Lib Dem - couldn’t even tell you who my local candidate is. Voiceless and faceless here.

Reform - Farage & Brexit. Difficult.

Green - a party I have no interest in voting for.

I don’t think I will know until I’m stood there waiting to vote, pen in hand.

Surely the 'squashed middle' need the NHS? I think that people have every right to vote for your own interests but the problem is that the Tories managed to convince people that they represent average, hardworking people. The reality is that only a small percentage of people actually benefit from a Tory government.

as usual, i have no idea,
lib dems, greens or labour
and it is not a discussion i would have in the office

Labour, I want a working health service and for things to stop going to shit whilst Tory donors get ever more rich.

Why are people bashing others for not voting for their preferred party?
The question asked who are you voting for..

because that can’t while they are still in opposition …

I thought there was speculation that Labour will bring pensions into the sphere of inheritance tax, hence "taxing pensions".

So many women saying women must use our vote.

And then so many of those are voting for parties and policies that not only ignore our sex but refuse to even recognise it.

Conservative. Cannot support Labour as a woman. Plus I think they would be worse than useless in government. Utter lack of clarity on their policies and funding. Tories aren't great, obviously, but best of a bad bunch in my opinion. A shit show all round really.

I will be voting Labour as our current mp is both safe and also a very good mp. I've met him a few times, and he actually does care about the city..I have however contacted him on the women's rights issue and am waiting for a response.
This is the only thing that worries me overall.

Agree, am actually exhausted with getting told 'vote for others benefits, vote for the greater good' which actually as pp says is only voting for those at the ends of things, and just fucks over those of us in the squashed middle (and I know how much some on mn hate the squashed middle having an opinion!)
