YouGov Poll shows what parliament would look like if only women could vote

The alternative media twisted headline is Green Party encourage all men and women over 50 to be culled in order for them to take power.

Next week

Who would be in parliament if cats could vote

In an equally irrelevant random poll.

OP can't be arsed to give any source info or (more likely) has just cut and pasted from a dubious site on t'internet, with limited understanding. It may reflect some careful cherry-picking of YouGov data combined with a (deliberate) failure to understand that raw votes do not necessarily translate into seats in our FPTP system. Who knows?

I guess the point being shoved is that anyone over 50 is just too aged and out of touch with the youth to be taken into account. And they’ll all die soon, so nerr. Or something.

Can I thank all the posters who have done the leg work on the data that’s produced this image, the context and the detail around it? It’s impressive what can be discovered in a short amount of time.

A lot of people are not politically literate.

So they go to the ballot box to give a protest vote and think ‘Green’ sounds like a nice eco choice instead of the reality, which is a women-hating bin fire party of loony extremism.

The 18-50 age banding is doing the heavy lifting there

I wouldn't assume voting green = believing in gender ideology, OP.

I did, and I don't.

Sorry, just catching up with the thread. Is this not a genuine YouGov poll then?

The left seem to have the same attitude towards “POC” as they do poor people.
They like them when they’re useful and toeing the line but god help them if they don’t.

While we are discussing surveys, this is also of interest:

Q: for under 16s with gender dysphoria, services should focus on psychological and mental-health support rather than medical interventions.

There is a majority (ie over 50%) net agreement for this in every age category, in every voting intention category (incl Green) and in both sex categories.

Its nothing to do with 'trans rights'.

Women's rights
Logic
Honesty
Common sense
Straightforwardness
Freedom of belief, and speech

Great opportunity to post this again, from https://sex-matters.org/posts/single-sex-services/new-poll-shows-most-people-prefer-single-sex-toilets-and-changing-rooms/

Even among the youngest adults and Green voters, a majority agree that transgender people should not simply be allowed to use whichever facilities they prefer.

I put this question into perplexity.ai, which seems to do a pretty good job at this sort of analysis:

Using latest relevant yougov.uk poll data, estimate what the House of Commons would look like if only women could vote

it gives a lot of detail (if anyone is interested they can try it themself, you can get 3 free searches per day) but the upshot is:

• Labour: 240-290 seats.
• Conservatives: 220-280 seats.
• Reform UK: 40-90 seats.
• Lib Dems: 30-60 seats.
• Greens: 5-25 seats.
• National parties and others: 10-25 seats.

Confidence levelThe direction is solid: women-only voting would likely be better for Labour, Conservatives, Greens, and Lib Dems than for Reform relative to the male electorate, with Labour and the Conservatives much closer than in the all-voter result.

An honest mistake, I’m sure, eh @FireBucket.

Thanks to YouGov you now know women 18–51 think people should be free to identify how they like but shouldn’t get other-sex rights…. the classic GC position.

It's the re-emergence of the Victorian male. Women and children are property. To be seen but not heard and here only to obey their master's instructions.

They're all so bloody regressive.

To take an analogy - about ethnic minorities. Left wingers do like to harp on about anti-racism but then exhibit shocking stereotypes themselves. I have, several times IRL had gasps of shock when it's revealed I don't have leftie views even though I'm "a POC" (hate that phrase), and a naturalised immigrant. They seem to expect that everyone of certain demographics should behave in predictable ways.

And this checks out with the leaderships too. Again, which party has not had any ethnic minority leaders (ever)? The Labour Party. Because they don't see people as real individuals with their own ideas, just a set of labels. If you're of this ethnicity or that religion, you probably have such and such views.

But real people are individuals.

It must be so irritating for the RSOH that all the pesky women have a vote not just those who agree with them

I'm so bored of the endless ageism of the RSOH. Their age phobia is off the scale

anyway does anyone know how parliament would look if only women with the surname smith could vote? Or only women with blue eyes? Or only women who are mothers? Or women who are not mothers? They are just as meaningful a range as when between 18-50

Good catch @GeneralPeter

The image in the OP first surfaced on the Instagram account Visegrad 24 - a news outlet with a reputation for low reliability and opaque structure.

@FireBucket you’re trying to push a specific right wing agenda here. Reported.

There are about 13 million women aged 18-50 and 12 million women aged over 50. All of us have the vote.

Not a frequent voter then? 😉

Generally I don't like to vote for politicians who don't have a basic grip on reality (and honesty)

And I know this has been said a lot before but it bears repeating. The tory party has had no fewer than 3 female prime ministers and currently has a female leader.

Say what you like about them, the tory party see women as real people with their own opinions and talents.

Left wingers just see women as an amorphous blob, to be objectified or patronised. Look at this thread alone, lumping all women into one predictable voting bloc.
