Is this just an election ploy because they dont want to be beaten into 3rd place by Alba?

Subtext: it's labelled single sex, but you can pick any sex you like.

This is flat out deceitful.

I'd respect them more if they'd just flat out own it. 'We don't care about women and their needs and feelings and the women who will self discharge and be excluded; our priority is always that some female people must lose provision and suffer so that male people can take their preferred choice of all the provisions'.

Own it you bunch of hypocrites. If you believe it, say it. Stand on it and let people vote, honestly, knowing what they're voting for.
