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

Picturisation of the voting intentions of women aged 18-50 shows a parliament overwhelmingly stuffed with parties which are openly pro-trans.

When will the gender critical movement let go of the disingenuous narrative that they speak for or represent women when they clearly don’t?

In my experience the non GC/rad fem women don't think of self ID or trans rights as a pressing issue for the UK. They think climate change, equal pay, childcare, human rights generally are all important though - is left leaning, and that's what the Greens offer.

This topic is naturally very skewed towards trans issues being the be all and end all, for most women it just isn't a priority.

Did YouGov check those women's genitals?

I would hope so

Is there any reason why you are ignoring the 14 million women who are over 50 in the UK?

@FireBucket Have done the legwork for you. It doesn’t support your claim.

Perhaps that's why men over 50 who identify as female think they are girls?
0-17 girl
18-50 woman
51+ girl again

Maybe?:
0-17 girl
18-50 'cute anime waifu'
51+ girl again

Why have these age limits? Is this one of those awful "people who menstruate" things.

Or is it maybe because if you did "what would Parliament look like if only over 35yo women could vote" there would be hardly any green seats at all.

Also @FireBucket, where did you get your data and how much of your claim relies on the effects of FPTP?

This is from the YouGov site:

Apparently not one that counts to the OP.

There has been some horrific agism on here recently from pro-gender identity posters.

Women hate women almost as much as men hate women.

I'm over 50 am I not a woman?

We mustn't be!!
I think there's a separate "old hags" category 🤔

People decide who to vote for across a huge range of issues.

It’s not a proxy for “Are you ok with male people in women’s single sex spaces/ refuges/ prisons/ taking women’s awards/ taking women’s prizes in sport?”

It could just as easily be a proxy for “Do you want a more progressive taxation system?”

If you want to know what women think about allowing all males who say they are trans into women’s spaces/ sports/ refuges/ prisons etc, then you would have to ask them that instead of just asking about voting intentions.

I know you are desperate to scold us for wrong think, but this is a stretch.

CassOle · 12/05/2026 21:00

Have you got a breakdown of why this age group is voting for the Greens?

How many are voting because they support Gender Identity being more important than biological sex when it comes to single-sex spaces, sport, prisons, rape crisis centres, etc.?

How many are voting for them because they care about the environment?

How many support both as above?

How many voted for the Greens for a different reason?

GeneralPeter · 12/05/2026 20:55

That’s pretty simplistic. Compare:

Environmentalists claim to care about the interests of humanity. But globally under 1% of the population vote for them. This proves they are being disingenuous.

Every single MP could be a member of an openly pro-trans party and still humans would not be able to change sex. Science isn't settled by voting and majorities.
