To think That if mumsnet was The Whole Electorate

[Karmapyjamas]

Ukip would not exist
Conservatives would be a fringe party
Labour a major party still
Greens a major party
What do you think Britain would be like?

There's loads of conservative voters on here

And at least a hundred Ukippers

I think you're right the prevailing ethos on MN is definitely left wing.

There's loads of Tories on MN

The prevailing MN analysis seems to be that all family/child-focused benefits are A Good Thing, but perversely, that taxes and charges (especially inheritance tax) are A Bad Thing.

If the electorate comprised 100% MNers, the economy would be looking considerably more like Greece's by now.

I disagree. I think we'd be governed by a Labour-Green-UKIP coalition, going off MN threads.

We'd be even more bankrupt than Labour left us!

I don't think conservatives would be a fring party at all.
Why the hell would anyone votes for greens as a major party?
Seriously.
Their manifesto is utter shite!

Well, I am fully in support of a benign dictatorship.
It would have to be mrsdevere, pagwatch, or moosemama though.

MN is not left wing ::howls with laughter::

I think the turnout would exceed 50% 80%, which would be great.

Unbearable - I would emigrate. Is MN left wing? May as well ask if the Pope is catholic.

What do you think Britain would be like?

A complete nightmare. Hopefully anyone with any sense and money would take their wealth elsewhere and leave the rest of you to your nasty little socialist shithole. I'd be off like a shot.

Bloody hell. If MN is left wing I must be the reincarnation of Trotsky.

confused.
I'd be Karl Marx!

I don't think mn is left wing at all.

Mn is very if you want something pay for it and everyone for themselves. Very little social conscience here or appetite for doing anything for others.

I think you must be on a different MN to me Morelikeguidelines, that's not my experience at all.

....although at least ttosca'seems to have disappeared with the numerous Tory cunts threads, thankfully.

CunningCat after me, one, two, three: "The people's flag is deepest red...."

Morelikeguidelines I kind of get what you mean, I think towards individual posters there can be quite a harsh response however I think attitudes towards general issues such as benefits, taxation, public sector etc. are very much left leaning. I think (I'm sure others will disagree) that MN perspectives on issues around ethnicity, gender and disability are more inclusive than in the population as a whole.

I'd emigrate to North korea

I also think there is a gulf between what people say their views are and how they vote in the privacy of the polling booth.

Hopefully anyone with any sense and money

The two are often mutually exclusive

I would advised my young male black and mixed raced relatives to leave the country.

I would leave the country.

Labour plus Greens?

We'd be bankrupt in a year and the lights would go out every time the wind stopped blowing.

A Labour/Green coalition would be my dream result.
