2.5 Location of respondents
Respondents were asked to provide address details, including postcode, with the latter
used by GEO to match respondents to UK countries, providing a high-level breakdown
of respondent location. Based on this data, 73% of respondents were based in England,
6% in Scotland, 3% in Wales and 1% in Northern Ireland.
The remaining 17% of respondents could not be categorised by location. This consisted
of 13% of respondents who provided no location information at all, and 4% of
respondents who provided some address details but no valid UK postcode. Among this
latter category were international responses from a range of different countries around
the world. As the consultation was open to all views and perspectives, and not
necessarily limited to respondents in any particular country, these responses have been
included in the analysis, but a breakdown of responses by location is provided in Annex
B.

All the best, I'd vote for you (it'd be nice to have someone I could vote for) but I'm hundreds of miles away.

It says in that screenshot that foreign nationals can vote if they're registered to do so.

And while voting in an election that doesn't affect me feels morally a bit off, responses to the GRA consultation in 2018 were accepted from all over the world IIRC?

Brilliant. All power to your elbow. Or whatever other part of your anatomy provides the most oomph, in the circumstances.

Bimbleberries · 27/01/2023 09:33

Fabulous!

This is council elections, though, isn't it, rather than Scottish Parliament or UK parliament? I wish someone like her would stand for MP

NotRightNowNo · 27/01/2023 09:30

Wow, wow, wow. This issue is bringing a lot of brilliant women to the fore. Go Elaine!! I think you're the right person at the right time.

AnneKipankitoo · 27/01/2023 09:21

A woman warrior !

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 27/01/2023 09:18

Really putting her money where her mouth is. What a fabulous woman

stealtheatingtunnocks · 27/01/2023 09:13

I’ll help her leaflet. That’s bold, good for her

nilsmousehammer · 27/01/2023 08:31

Bravo Elaine!

Oh for a network of independent women standing across the UK. Someone to vote for that I actually WANTED in power, as opposed to the least awful.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 27/01/2023 08:26

Fantastic news, very well done

MichelleScarn · 27/01/2023 08:19

Brilliant!! Go Gussie!!

RocketPanda · 27/01/2023 08:18

Amazing Elaine, well done. You are an inspiration for your funny and direct response to the trampling of women's rights .

The only thing that would cause me to hesitate to vote for her is if her merkin was running against her. Then I'd have to choose. Elaine? Or the merkin?

VOTE FOR THE MERKIN I MEAN ELAINE NO THE MERKIN ELAINE MERKIN ELAINE

It's OK! I heard that if she's elected her merkin will be her deputy, running the office and standing in for Elaine when she's too busy terfing to do politics.

Boiledbeetle · 27/01/2023 01:33

Elaines merkin wasnt available fur the press shoot so sent along her PA

The hair piece was available.

It’s fantastic news, and she has an army of women & men behind her to help. 💪💚🤍💜💪

Boiledbeetle · 27/01/2023 01:28

Of course now i have to go and Google don't i to see the resemblance

Boiledbeetle · 27/01/2023 01:27

Yeah...backs away slowly...here's your coat...bye now

CompleteGinasaur · 27/01/2023 01:22

Unfortunately not, Beetle, I merely noticed something of a resemblance? (Apologies to Gussie's merkin, obvs). I'll get my coat..

Boiledbeetle · 27/01/2023 01:17

CompleteGinasaur · 27/01/2023 01:07

Perhaps the merkin and Michael Fabricant's wig could cross the floor together? (And then mop it...)

Show quote history

That's some weird fantasizing going on in your head. Have you been at the gin?😀

On the (very dubious) plus side, Whittome did make it a bit easier for me to leave the Labour Party. So there's that...?

FOJN · 27/01/2023 00:11

You are bloody marvellous Elaine, I saw some of your Edinburgh Fringe stuff and was blown away by your commitment to women's sexual and reproductive health.

Good luck.

KohlaParasaurus · 27/01/2023 00:08

All power to her 💪
