"The 3-point fall in the Labour share [in You Gov poll] is entirely explained by a 6-point fall among women (from 46% to 40%)"

CON 43 (+1)
LAB 39 (-3)
LD 8 (+2)

@jenniferjames says "Oh fucking hell. I broke the Labour party. :-( "

I've got very mixed feelings. On the one hand - go everyone! They'll have to take notice - surely?

But - Jesus Christ let's not let the Tories have another term.

But - we have to stick up for ourselves don't we.

Starting to think the people who say the rapid rise in TRA ideology is being fuelled by those who stand to benefit from a divided left might have a point. Sad

Women
Momentum
Jeremy Corbyn
Antisemitism
Policies just getting weirder and more 'pie in the sky' - community ownership of utilities?

But who the hell do you defect to? All the political parties (including the sodding WEP FFS) are on the self-ID train.

It's fairly clear, for many reasons, that Labour don't care about women. But it's not like anyone else does.

For the first time in my life I have no clue who to vote for.

Obviously the leadership thought they could get away with pissing on our leg and telling us it's raining one more time.

This coincidenced with a week which had the biggest drop in Labour membership since JC became leader. It was written off as non renewals over Brexit.

It was the same week as the suspension of women Labour party members in the witchhunt.

There is something going on imo, which yougov seem to have spotted. Yet no other fucker in the media is really picking up on.

Until the mainstream starts asking questions about this then Labour will continue with their bullshit.

I don't think this is a blip either.

It won't change how I vote - I'm voting tactically to get the Tories out, whoever that is. But I feel lost politically - I'm a lifelong Labour supporter and It's not just the issue but the way they've dealt with it that's just so disappointing.

In general yes, but this latest drop is ALL women.

It is amazingly conflicted. Depends how much of a swing policy it is for you.

Honestly? I’d take No Brexit over pretty much anything. For example.

But are we able to frame our issue as something other than niche?

WitchesHatRim · 11/02/2018 01:45

There are a number of reasons people are leaving the party as well as this.

Brexit and anti semitism for starters.
