Anyone else here voting Reform UK?

For every woman who voted Reform for women’s rights 🙄

I voted for Reform too. I do not like Labours policies on gender ideology. I'd never vote Tory. Greens want to scrap nuclear deterrents (with the state of the world we live in and believe in the right to self identify as any gender you wish) and our independent candidate couldn't string a sentence together (although she seemed nice enough). Lib dem doesn't stand a chance in our area.
Lesser of ALL evils here. They want to create a British Bill of Rights. Maybe it could create some good who knows? I do know that since 2010 life has become shitter and shitter. I used my vote how I seen fit.

Nigel Farage is a chauvinist. For that reason (and many others including that he's also an obnoxious smug cunt)

I agree with you re women's rights and the other parties so I've voted Tory because the others didn't give me any hope of protecting women's spaces.

I don't trust any of them though.

Not with any justification. You’ve just voted for a bunch of racist, misogynist incels endorsed by Andrew Tate. My response was very mild.

you can "oh dear" me all you like i could do the same to who you voted for.

Are we talking about the same Reform led by a man who expressed admiration for Andrew Tate? And you think they represent something positive for women?

Oh dear.

im 29 and i voted reform uk! i stand with everything Nigel has said, and i no they probably wont win but heres hoping people open their eyes and see we need REFORM UK i was up ready took my daughter to school and went straight to the polling station.

The person in front and behind me both asked the staff why there was no reform candidate on the paper - there isn’t a reform candidate standing in my previously safe Tory seat. I think there is far more groundswell support than people realised

I'm not sure how crying " shame" really adds anything to the conversation to be honest. It smacks of moral superiority, and that, in itself, is part of the reason that the hard right is emerging across Europe. When you dismiss people's concerns as 'racist or 'sexist' or whatever, you fail to understand the issues that people and communities feel they are facing.

There are people in all parties who ascribe to beliefs and support policies of the sort you/we/I may personally reject or disapprove of - but simply being 'right wing' is not in itself some inherent evil.

When things get too 'open', and when 'openness'; lack of boundaries, lack of rules, and so on, become seen as being necessary virtues - then you will find a natural counter-balance in terms of re-assertion of those things. Stable societies permit change, but it has to be slow and incremental and the people have to feel that the change isn't compromising core values.

Hold on! That’s a really out of order thing to say!

Frogs are great and are really useful in the garden, eating the flies and slugs!

I'm a woman and he got my vote

The Equality Act replaced the Equal Pay Act 1970, Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Race Relations Act 1976, Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 and the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006.

There have always been acts to protect us, and as time has gone on and our rights improved they’ve been replaced by subsequent acts. The Equality Act 2010 is the most recent. The problem with Reform is that they’re not planning to replace the act, just scrap it, which will leave women with the same rights as we had in the 1960s - no maternity pay or protections, no equal pay, no protections against sex discrimination (meaning companies preferred to employ men), we could be beaten and raped by our husbands, we weren’t entitled to request flexible working, we could be groped in work…

I could go on all night. These are the protections that every woman who has voted Reform would be throwing away because they obviously didn’t understand or bother to educate themselves what they were actually voting for.

And it’s not just women, it’s people of colour, gays, disabled people, older people and people with a faith who will all be Reform’s victims. It breaks my heart to think of how bravely people fought for these laws for decades to protect us and idiots now are happy to set fire to them. Shame on you all.

And for people to buy into the Tories’ spiel so much that they actually flip to Reform over it, the mind actually boggles. Critical thinking skills at nil.

Hi Ms Turkey. Could you put a vote next to the box marked “Christmas” while you are in in there too, please? It’s a lovely time of year and I think you would really enjoy it.

🤣🤣🤣

The Tories must be rubbing their grubby little hands with glee at the realisation they have convinced so many people that they are the party who care about women’s rights. And that they’ve managed to do so by trumpeting one issue so loudly that OP et al have conveniently forgotten the rest of their policies which are squarely misogynistic and wildly damaging for women in society.

Why would I vote for them in the name of women's rights? That would be utterly moronic.
It's not even a political party, it's a company with Farage as the sole shareholder. So I'm into democracy not weird creepy nazi frogs.

Racism + misogyny go hand in hand.

He is an old fashioned gentlemen, Jesus wept.

Love to know what substance you’re on. Might try it myself.

Tell me you’re white, without telling me you’re white.
