You don't have to be a member to write in a suggestion for the manifesto. In my CLP many people agree with me about this but also seem to see it as a 'niche' issue that 'doesn't come up on the doorstep'. Let's show them how much it matters to us.

I'll do it with regard to upholding EqA and poor data resulting in an inability to formulate all other policies so that they benefit women.

But Captain is correct. There is no chance of a change. Labour is subject to complete policy capture on this.

I put this:

Recognition of what a woman actually is, upholding of the Equality Act 2010 (SEX not gender), preservation of women only shortlists for ACTUAL WOMEN and protection of single sex spaces (toilets, changing rooms, sports) for the sound biology-based reasons we've always had them. If we have this I'll feel able to vote for you again; currently the ingrained misogyny means that I can't.

You have more chance of teaching a pig to fly.

Also, don't forget to get in touch with your Labour candidate, especially if you're in a marginal.
