I just don't know who to vote for!!!!

Another undecided here. We do have an SDP candidate here but I looked at their manifesto and there’s a lot in there that is not me (leaving ECHR for example). Of course they are meter going to get in but I want to vote for someone I would be happy to see in government.

It’s very odd. Labour are almost sure to have an historic landslide but so many people seem unsure and few seem to be actually keen on this version of Labour.

Hampshire Independents are ex-UKIP who fell out with the party (not to be confused with Basingstoke Independents who are ex-Labour councillors who left when JC was leader).

I'm in a Tory safe seat and really don't know who to vote for, if Niko was standing I'd go with him. I was formally a Green party member, but there are so many lunatics in the party I worry and I left when they lost sight of what a woman is. I am of the opinion that voting matters, UKIP didn't get any MPs, but did get 4.5 million votes which pushed Brexit through. When Greens do well government have in the past adopted some of thier policies.

I think closer alignment to the EU is the most important thing for the economy and that economic growth is the only way to improve public services, is Lib Dem the strongest on that? Climate is also so important and GP are obviously strong there and also want EU membership.. I don't know. Historically UKIP have done well in my area, so probably a big reform vote - I dispair.

Sorry, I should have realised!

Yes, women died to get us the vote, and that is why I have always voted - until the last election, when I spoilt my ballot.

But they didn't die in order for us to vote our other rights away. What would they think of that? So then you're left with the parties that will not (or say they will not) reduce and restrict women's rights, and if there are none of those that you feel you can vote for, well...

I have the same problem, I was reading the BBC comparison earlier of what each wants to do, and I'll think oh that sounds good to one, then read something else for the same party and go absolutely not!

I need to use my vote as women fought so hard for us to have the vote, but all the parties are as bad as each other!

I have 2 realistic options. An independent who is GC and the incumbent conservative GC MP.

Used to be a safe Tory seat but Labour is predicted to take it.

I'm voting conservative for the first time in my life (having been a labour member).

I'd vote for the Indy candidate if it wasn't predicted to be a close contest but all I'm hoping for now is to avoid a supermajority and an effective opposition.

Yes I've become a single issue voter and I'm not at all apologetic about it.

Undermining women's rights is a hill I will die on.

I hope so.

we posted Monday evening and it’s a Tuesday morning post so 🤞🤞
however I’m beginning to regret voting for Labour as I’m worried about taxes, and the trans issue but hey ho. I don’t think I could bring myself to vote Tory even though I’m not convinced by Starmer.

So who do you think the Suffragettes would be voting for? Would they vote for a party who were planning to redefine their sex?

Will it get there so late?

Also can't afford the eye watering taxes Labour are planning.

I vote for conservative to preserve my rights and identity as a woman, no other party does that. Not one.

Secondly Labour WILL crash the economy as they always do, historically and factually, so I would prefer we kept our job and house. So a no brainer.

I could never vote for someone as untrustworthy as Starmer.

SDP?

SEX-BASED RIGHTS

The liberal pursuit of individual autonomy and desire must be balanced by the common good. Some citizens feel at odds with the physiology and social role associated with their natal sex and can suffer distress. Transgender people should be treated with dignity and respect, in keeping with their acquired gender in most situations. However, these rights must be balanced against the need of natal females for safety and sporting fairness. Biological sex is real and politically significant. This requires an absolute stance on relevant legal definitions in some domains.
.
We support segregation by biological sex in sport. Fair competition is not secured if male-bodied transgender athletes are permitted to compete in women's sport and, in the case of contact sports, the risk of injury can increase significantly.

We support segregation by biological sex in prisons and women's refuges in order to safeguard the safety and privacy of natal females. Separate prisons or prison accommodation should be provided for transgender citizens to ensure their safety and privacy.

Transgender individuals wishing to change their sex marker should be allowed to do so. However, we support the continued necessity for medical gatekeeping in any legal change of sex marker. We oppose proposals that would allow someone to change their sex marker by self-identification only.

The Equality Act and Gender Recognition Act will be amended to ensure that sex-based rights which require protection in key domains are not undermined by a change in sex marker:
Healthcare spending and resources for gender dysphoric individuals, including long-term psychological intervention, should be provided at sufficient levels. Physical or drug-based medical treatments for gender dysphoria should be prohibited for anyone under 18 years of age.

We support the retention of biological sex and gender identity as distinct categories in public sector data gathering such as crime statistics, poverty metrics or public health research.

We support the use of plain English for discussions of biological sex in health and reproductive care.

Snowypeaks We have a Christian People's Alliance candidate. They would appear to know what a woman is too but their manifesto lost me when they mentioned doing things not for the good of the population but for the glory of their god or some such.

Snowypeaks It is interesting how the Communists are the ones with the right-wing views on women now. Who would have thought it?

I feel your pain! We have a chance to flip a huge tory majority, in a seat that has never been labour, and I'm adding my vote, with reservations.
Maybe it's a hopeless cause, we'll know in about 36 hours!

I know my vote will not change anything, so I'm voting Communist Party. Only party in my area that genuinely supports women's rights. If we'd had a Tory candidate who was not TWAW, I might have been tempted but they've made it easy for me to go elsewhere. No PoW. Labour will get in anyway but I can't bring myself to help them even though their candidate is great in other ways, but they are full-on, mad TWAW.
So I hear I'm a Communist now...

Safe Labour seat. Was reluctantly voting labour until about 4 days ago when I suddenly realised I don't have to. I don't have to vote for a party that thinks my inescapable material reality is secondary to an identity men have the freedom to choose.

Open to voting independent candidate or radical lefty party - have voted communist in the past, after leaving labour. These small left wing parties are never going to rule the country but I wouldn't mind if they reminded Labour of their socialist roots and I'm genuinely on board with some of their policies.

Currently researching Communist and Workers party candidates for my area. To be clear I'd have voted for my labour MP if I liked her but sadly she's one of those women who thinks they can give consent on behalf of other women.

Depending on how you choose to spoil your vote, it may still be counted as a vote. But for me, don’t spoil it, don’t waste your vote, women died to give us the privilege to shape our future.

Saw an article (skim-read) in Unherd saying JKR is suggesting voting for the Communist Party if you are unsure what to do with your vote, due to their stance on women's rights.....and I remember a rehashed labour party breakaway group (SDP??) which seemed to support women's rights......
For the first time in forever (yes I just quoted a song from Frozen!) I really don't know who to vote for, and probably won't when I put my 'x' in the box....or do I spoil my ballot??? Is any notice taken of the number of spoiled ballots?? Argh!!!

Finally had a reply from our prospective Labour candidate

The Labour Party believes it's incredibly important we protect female-only spaces and tackle misogyny wherever it's found.

let’s see shall we?

My constituency is a safe Labour seat so guess it doesn't matter what I do! Hard tho in seats where it will. Will prob spoil my ballot. What a shitshow

I’ve decided independent or Labour. Tories have been a shit show and I absolutely couldn’t bring myself to vote for them. LD never on women alone and Reform never.
