There's lots of clever, knowledgeable women on here. Perhaps we could have a space for gathering research, ideas and policy proposals?

I'm interested.
@StoatofDisarray think I just woke my neighbours up laughing Grin

McCanne · 16/11/2019 00:34

Totally in.

GetbusywiththeFizzee · 16/11/2019 00:19

but could work to influence and lobby whoever gets in with practical positive solutions

This is what we need, non stop lobbying behind the scenes, articles in papers, gain influence.
Suggest a campaign to stop many women seeing feminism as troublesome and unnecessary.

What an excellent idea. As another politically homeless person we need this. Count me in.

BlackeyedSusan · 15/11/2019 23:28

Politically homeless, parent of two disabled children. Not much time for thinking, but stress eating means I have the dimensions of a bloody great big tank ..

Barracker · 15/11/2019 23:18

I will think in a tank with you lot any day.

I'm in.

I’m just looking at SSAUK now.

I’m also politically homeless. Politically hopeless, more like.

Get the tories out. Obviously! Also parent of a child with SEN. Work with some of the most deprived young people in our society. See everyday how unjust and downright vicious this system is. Never ever ever would I sanction that.

Yet in my constituency LDs are roaring ahead...but they clearly aren’t GC...AND I have never really been clear on what they stand for. Yeah, remain blah blah. I’m a remainder. But I don’t trust them. And they arent female friendly. Why would I vote fir a party that doesnt want he?

Greens. Wokety woke - worse than the LDs. And no hope of even registering where I am.

....and then there is my supposed political home (Labour). Wall to wall woke momentum DICKS. .,, and Dawn Butler as Shadow Equalities Minister. And fucking Corbyn.

Gah.

Cuntysnark · 15/11/2019 21:15

I’m in. In awe of some (most) of the women here. You see things so clearly but I’m right behind you. Bit slower on the uptake but getting it. Angrily.

CeridwenTheWitch · 15/11/2019 21:13

I have an idea for a name for the new think tank - The Maya Forstater Foundation? If Maya is happy for it to be! In honour of her being bravely feminist at a think tank and losing her job over it.

DozeyTwonk · 15/11/2019 21:11

I'm in. Long time lurker. I'm super pissed off (and quite scared) about the erosion of womens rights.

justcly · 15/11/2019 21:04

I'm in, if you'll have me. Politically homeless, GC lefty lesbian.

IamEarthymama · 15/11/2019 20:59

Please count me in! I, with other GC women, met today with our Assembly Member to discuss the Labour Women’s Declaration.

It was a very usual meeting and we got our opinions over well, I believe.

She has asked for a list of our concerns so I am currently going through Facebook and Twitter and collating articles on sport, prison, police, Labour Party, single-Sex spaces etc.
Sadly there is an abundance of choice!
I know that there are many resources here on MN too.

I do think it’s important to be positive too, to enable us to feel that we are strong together and will affect the future for generations to come.

jenthelibrarian · 15/11/2019 20:51

Another adult human female here!

StoatofDisarray · 15/11/2019 20:40

You have my axe!

ChampagneCommunist · 15/11/2019 20:31

Politically lost Adult Human Female here ready to counted in.

If it helps, I'm a lawyer so have access to lots of legal resources for research

Daughterofmabel · 15/11/2019 20:11

Another politically homeless woman here. Thats woman as in adult human female

Bowednotbroken · 15/11/2019 20:09

Very interested - another politically homeless person here. Dreading the actual election as I can't bear not to vote, and can't bear to vote for any of the shit shower here.

slipperywhensparticus · 15/11/2019 20:02

I might jump in politically I'm adrift at the moment conservative government have screwed us over as the mother to a disabled child in benefits my feet are fucking freezing I really cant vote for them but Corbyn? The liberals are out way out so what am I to do

PerkingFaintly · 15/11/2019 19:57

Oh I thought this was a joke thread title.

I'm actually interested now.

NeurotrashWarrior · 15/11/2019 19:49

As a teacher I am watching the safeguarding holes become gaping chasms and no one up on high is thinking about these issues nor connecting the dots.

NeurotrashWarrior · 15/11/2019 19:46

Sorry SSAUK
