And, do you feel it did that?

I don't know...I live in Liverpool and have not been watching the events in Bristol, but do know that KJK's modus operandi was likely to have been as I described. She picks her seats with some consideration and for a reason. It is all grist for the mill.

It's a small number but more effective than spoiling your ballot.

It won't let me edit. <sigh>

@iseegulls Oh dear, yes. I was interrupted mid-typing by some Pombears and automatically put it in tens of thousands as that's what I'm used to at work. 😳
I'll edit it.

That's 50,000 women who stood up for themselves.
(I think it's unlikely that many men voted for the Party of Women.)

I think you mean 5000?

I don't think her aim was votes. She stood in a constituency which was predicted to be an overwhelming Green win - overturning a large Labour majority -which turned out to be correct. It was meant to highlight the madness of the Green party and what it has become in recent years.

So KJK got the second lowest votes out of all her candidates?

I know this place is overrun with the KJK fan club these days, but honestly, that's hilarious IMO.

Given her narc tendancies she'll not be happy with that at all.

Sorry not sorry.

I think most who are even slightly politically informed, and not necessarily KJK fans, will say she took on the most hostile seat (after Brighton).

But carry on posting personal attacks and negativity.

The more the usual suspects do this, the more likely it is to increase comments of support for KJK / PoW.
