She signed this letter: https://can-sg.org/2023/02/23/open-letter-to-nhs-chiefs-the-importance-of-the-word-woman/

I think I'm going to vote for her and the other choices are dire (reform, heritage party, convervatives , labour or lib dem),

Best of a bad bunch?

Yes but if/when she gets the whip her own views no longer matter, that's how politics works im afraid!

They need more of her in the party, and if she gets a lot of votes, it'll cause a stink if they kick her out. I'm surprised she's still thete though, considering their treatment of others.

The party manifesto is what the candidate has to follow.
Theirs is pretty rancid.

I’d probably not draw too much attention to it to be honest in case they kick her out!

That isn't what's in their party manifesto though

"Campaign for the right of self-identification for trans and non-binary people"

I know.

But the other choices are rancid. So I'm left with voting for the candidate, not the party.

That's good news. Who is it? How do you know? Might be a silly question but did you check all the names?

No, I just googled the 6 candidates for my ward, including her - and her name came up on the petition. There's only one person with that name on the petition - and she gives her (NHS) job title, which matches what her green party credentials say.

So, yeah, I'll vote for her.
