So how did the party of women do?

I can post where I want to, thanks

@CassieMaddox why do you continue to post here? You've made it clear that you do not respect any of the explanations given here of the aims of POW and why it has been a success. @POWNewcastleEastWallsend kindly posted a really good insight as an actual candidate that you have either not bothered to read or simply just ignored.

Yes, I probably could after the past year of watching posters on here get torn a new one for writing perfectly reasonable opinions on KJKs antics.
It is fascinating. Really fascinating.

You forgot the period of time where she said she was standing against Jess Phillips but then pulled out.

She was very disorganised in her strategy.

I don't know about anyone else but I am really looking forward to the announcement of the new Perfect Political Party led by SuffragetteFromGladiators , CassieMaddox and Ineverlose.

Seeing as there are three of them it will obviously be at least three times as good as POW and we can all go home and put our feet up.

Cassie needs to tell us the lengths and depths she's gone to further the cause

It is blindingly obvious that she has become consumed by her ego. It’s not my fault if you are blind to this

I'm not so arrogant that I think I can do armchair psychology and diagnose people I have never met. I'm not sure what 'consumed by her ego' even means. I've just watched one of her videos where she says she has a massive ego. Is that what you mean?

She said she was running for elections AGES ago. She evidently made a mess of some of the paperwork and only got registered 4 months ago . She said she was doing this POW well over a year ago

I think she announced the plan for a party in May last year, so a little over a year ago. I expect the paperwork is quite complex, and it seems she made some errors, which is probably not unusual for people starting their own small parties. Once she got it registered she was quite efficient at getting candidates, with some running for council elections in May and then 16 candidates in the GE. That's pretty good going. The WEP have only had a total of 14 candidates in 3 general elections and they were formed in 2015.

Any attention she got was alongside Captain Beany, Count Binface and King Arthur, all joke candidates.

Do you have any evidence for this? Links?

Had she made a better fist of it ( for example she could have stood in a more suitable constituency) she would have done much better. But she didn’t (terrible tactics) The idea that she was going to somehow show up Carla Denyer and Thangam failed miserably ( more terrible tactics)

If you remember, she was originally going to stand against Lloyd Russell-Moyle in Brighton. I'm sure you agree this was an excellent choice. Then just a few days later the Labour party suspended him which meant she needed to find a better constituency rather than just run against a random Labour candidate.

With only a few days left before the deadline for nominations, she would have had quite limited options when selecting another constituency, and also had to make a fairly quick choice. Having watched some of her videos, she did seem to relish the idea of being in the same room as Carla Denyer.

What would be a 'suitable constituency' in your opinion? Did any of the POW candidates stand in a 'suitable constituency'? I think they all stood in the constituencies they live in.

There are, thankfully, much better Gc women out there who are, thankfully, gaining much more ground.

Gaining much more ground how, exactly? Who? What are they doing? And 'much better'? Do you think it's a competition?

Maybe they didn’t run because they’re more tactical than her and knew it wouldn’t be a good idea? However once she said she was creating a political party no one else could take that space.

They could have done it first. But if they thought it wasn't a good idea (for them), why slag off someone who does want to do it? If they wanted to stand they could have joined her party. There's also nothing to stop them starting another party if they didn't want to join PoW.

It would be insane to try to collaborate with someone like kjk who lives off fighting (more terrible tactics) She needs to stop slagging other people off. This issue is too important for so much in fighting

The slagging off is coming from one side (and it's not KJK). It started when WPUK de-platformed her, while still letting males like self-confessed autogynephile Debbie Hayton speak at their meetings.

Then there was Jane Clare Jones and others slagging her off for doing her activism in a way that they don't like.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen her retaliate (but I'm sure you'll provide some links if she has), but she's certainly taken a kicking from some other gender critical feminists.

Strong agree.

I am. I stood for Party of Women in Newcastle upon Tyne East & Wallsend.

The best way to make POW more effective is for more women to join POW and more women to stand for POW in elections. There should be plenty to have a shot at before the next General Election.

I have to laugh at the armchair politicians in this thread sniping at KJK's campaign strategy.

None of us standing expected to get over 5% of the votes cast, which we would need to do to get our £500 deposit returned.

Look what value for money we got though - this is strategy!

*Royal Mail Unaddressed Leaflets Delivery - Normal Cost"

https://www.royalmail.com/business/marketing/mail/door-to-door

"For as little as £500 you could reach up to 8,000 households

83% of door drop items are engaged with by customers*"

But Election Leaflets are delivered FOR FREE by the Royal Mail.

For my £500 deposit the Royal Mail delivered not to "up to 8,000" households but to 60,300 households!

For £500 POW leaflets were delivered in my Constituency to 76,245 voters.

In many households there would, obviously, be children under the age of 18. Too young to vote this time but, by the time they are old enough vote in a General Election, we want to them to become as familiar with a Party of Women candidate standing in a local election as a candidate for any other party. That should be their norm and expectation.

Every time a POW candidate stands for an election we can get the message across that it is perfectly OK to acknowledge the reality of sex, perfectly normal to challenge the elite orthodoxy of "gender affirmation" for children as abusive.

Every time there is a hustings or a chance to speak at a count, even if we don't win, we can get our message across. The videos of candidates speaking are scattered across different social media platforms - I have not yet got a list of links.

KJK spoke well at the Bristol Central hustings and never mind the man shouting "Rubbish!" after she spoke. She was quite poorly by that stage. She had not let up with her regular LWS activities and YouTube live-streams, was busy with her own campaign yet every night all the Candidates had an hour's Zoom with her.

That woman is a power house - and to suggest as PP have done that she lacks campaigning strategy or has "undermined the cause" is frankly ludicrous.

I have also seen some supposed feminists bemoaning the fact that the Women's Equality Party (WEP) was/is a "lost opportunity" . . . and how much better it would have been if WEP had done as well as POW . . . so at one and the same time POW made a pathetic showing - but isn't it a shame that WEP did not do as well as POW?

POW knocked the duplicitously named "Women's Equality Party" off the map. WEP has been going for 9 years, has "celebrity" founders, big donations from a Google employee (to make sure his "trans daughter" has a leg-up into UK politics) and what did they achieve?

WEP has funding from the Google Guy.

POW had some candidates who had never used a spreadsheet but we had support from seasoned candidates and election agents, former activists from the "big parties" who helped with tech support and gave advice about how to navigate the insane complexities of the electoral system, legal issues, etc.

WEP stood 4 candidates.

POW stood 16 candidates.

POW had zero funds, fielded 4 times as many candidates as WEP and has only been in existence since February.

Some WEP candidates also got fewer votes than some POW candidates.

If any party is an embarrassment to the women's rights movement it is WEP - not Party of Women. But that is too embarrassing to admit for the snobs who fawn over celebrities, refer to KJK as a "T-Shirt saleswoman" and roll their eyes and tut at the language of working class women who have not had their tongues tamed into submission by middle-class identity politics and are not hamstrung by purity spiral traps.

If they want to start their own party, let them have a go. If they think they can wrangle the Labour Party now that it is in Government, I sincerely hope that they can.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to help POW, please join us 💚🤍💜 xx

Kellie-Jay's closing statement from the Bristol 24/7 Bristol Central hustings #POW #PartyOfWomen

Why's that? PoW will need to be bold if they're going to have any major impact - why wouldn't they want to bring recognisable people who agree with their core message onboard? Or are you saying the likes of Cherry wouldn't touch them because they're lacking credibility somehow?

Nobody had really heard of UKIP or took them seriously until they got Kilroy, and then suddenly they got loads of coverage. PoW need their own Kilroy. If not Cherry, who?

There's a joke at Kellie-Jay Keen/POW's expense on BBC's Breaking The News episode from yesterday at 5min 30sec.

Why does everyone keep on going on about 4 months? It just makes you look unreliable and even maybe dishonest. This party was planned for well over a year, it was just officially 4 months
