Anyone in Bristol Central voting for POW?

Thank you. What a lovely home page that is.

don't know about her nominating officer

The Party Of Women nominating officer is Paul Duddridge

It doesn't look "patently untrue" to me. It looks like a perfectly reasonable hypothesis, supported by lots of circumstantial evidence. Therefore it comes down to a difference of opinion on how you judge that evidence, rather than "true/untrue".

The statement in the Pesutto case shows that it's not a slam dunk. If it were, then both sides wouldn't have had to issue non-apology apologies; and both sides wouldn't be claiming the other side settled. There would be a clear winner.

The complete lack of respect of even tolerance for a different opinion on KJK is why people on this board get accused of fangirling. It appears there is no objective appraisal of why people who are GC might not want to be associated with her and what she stands for.

Aggregated polls here. Mix of predictions for Labour and Green

I'm going for Thangam (as usual).

Momentarily tempted by Carla but ultimately it's a tactical vote from me.

People aren't just making stuff up, is my point

But they are, they are falsely claiming that she's in bed with Nazis and other far right nuts, when it's patently untrue. It's repeated by people with the critical analysis abilities of a particularly slow thrip.

Apart from

Far right people live streaming her events from the front row
Far right people turning up at her events

What about the TEZs who turn up at her events? Does that make her a trans activist?

AFAIK they take down your general stance. If you have any particular issues, and the candidate is with them, they will call them over to discuss it with you. The point is to find people who support your party and, on election night, if you haven't voted, they will come and prompt you to vote.

Do they?!

@Sausagenbacon I never raise any issues with canvasers of any party, because I heard they make notes against your name about what you say. Don't know if it's true?

In the end, who knows?
My vote is about Labour, no matter how hard-working TD is, Labour will blatantly trample over women's concerns. As I have said before - look at what they've been doing in Opposition, what will they do when they are in power?
Thangham has done nothing about this, no matter what a good local MP she is, and how (supposedly) GC she is.
My dh canvasses for her, and finds it worrying how many people are leaning towards the Greens. But this is because of the Palestinian Issue and also because many people don't want to see a big Labour majority. The Gender Issue has never come up with him but has come up with a female canvasser he knows.

Electoral calculus probably

Debonnaire is by no means likely to win; if she loses to Denyer it means we lose a reasonable feminist to be replaced by a TWAW headbanger. Not sure that's a good outcome.

I've always been perplexed why KJK eventually settled on Bristol Central; I hope she doesn't end up taking votes that cause Debonnaire to lose the seat

Just a reminder that Thangam knows there are no abuse support options for women in Bristol because the Labour council ended them. She has failed to ever speak up about it, despite being asked to do so.

childrenoftransitioners.org/2024/04/13/the-trans-lobby-has-destroyed-provision-for-female-abuse-victims-in-bristol-and-elsewhere-and-will-do-the-same-for-the-victims-bill/

Rape and sex abuse support (SARSAS), Nextlink (domestic abuse and Freedom programme), Womankind etc- all mixed sex ( and even include men who say they are women in what they tell female victims are 'women only' groups). Women who need single sex support are left isolated and excluded.

This decision was made by a Labour council under a Labour mayor. Yet Thangam is silent and Keir says the Equality Act provisions are working well for women.

Whoever you vote for, please ask them about what action they will take to introduce single sex support female victims of male abuse can actually access, alongside the current mixed sex options.

Not from the front row as if they were special guests 😂
I'm pretty sure she'd kick them out.

Anyway, we can have different opinions. It was this I was respinding to: I'm so bored with posters immediately trotting out the supposed connections between KJK and the far right. With no proof.

People aren't just making stuff up, is my point

Presumably someone on the ground in Bristol, I don’t know as he didn’t say.

I wonder where he got that from? This non partisan aggregation of polling doesn’t reflect Mr Dale’s view at all.

That means he thinks Denyer will win I guess.

Iain Dale said he’d heard that Thangam is very likely to lose her seat. I don’t know if that would affect your vote.

There was no "front row" .

Everyone listening formed a very tight circle around KJK and there were numerous cameras in the circle.
No one was identified. I was there.

Cassie seems to live vicariously through second hand gossip presented in a bizarre triumphant manner as if she's come back from the desert with tablets of stone she's chiseled out. It's funny.

This insistence on purity held the GC movement back in the early days. KJK appeals to GC women who don't share all my values but that's because concern for women's rights and safety isn't limited to members of the Labour Party. KJK reaches parts of the population that WPUK could never reach. Those women, even if I disagree with them on many things, have votes and voices and can influence their politicians on this issue.

Not when the POW candidate in Sheffield has been threatened with arrest for leafleting.

I'd vote POW in your shoes, OP. Greens are out, Labour will walk it in Bristol and don't need your vote so make your point — unless you want to vote Conservative.
