Just been and looked at the questions. I went for relatively tame to avoid censorship by the mods; I'm surprised but heartened by the closeted T**F's (are we allowed to use that term yet) getting straight to the heart of the matter. If they either don't answer the questions or leave thinking this is a fringe issue which won't affect voting choices then they are too stupid to deserve my vote.

As 99% of the questions relate to the importance of sex versus gender,in one way or another,I'd be really interested to see what questions are actually answered. Will there have to be some non contentious questions 'made up,'so that the question/answer session isn't just one big silence?

I expect it will be a disappointment, maybe we should answer the questions on here first
I'm sure it will be. They will swerve the huge fucking elephant in the room, then say 'but no one ever raises this issue with us on the door step'.

Rinse and repeat

Having looked at the range of questions already on that chat, it appears that sisters who rarely post on this board have the issues comprehensively covered! So many fantastic questions all pointing out the elephant in the room - if you're unable to define what a woman is then how can you advocate for more elephants in parliament???.........
I love Mumsnet Grin

Honestly.... no. The questions will be limited to the last decimal place with strikes handed out like smarties for raising the subject at all. The questions will be pre submitted. They will be selectively responded to, and all on the subject we'd like to talk about will be avoided like the plague. They will be answered before hand probably by advisors so they carefully say nothing but repeating political lines, and by this point we could write it for them. And there will be no interaction or discussion of any kind.

So what's the point?

Creasy and Noakes? 🍿

Keeping this bumped because I am sure lots of people will want to ask good questions!
