Is mumsnet right wing?

[BrilloPadHairball]

There are so many benefits bashing threads on here I’m really starting to wonder. Do the majority of people posting on mumsnet lean heavily to the right?

As o said upthread, I would say MN is left wing if anything (might not be as communist as some would like 😉)

Well that gave me a giggle -the media giving the Tories a free pass!!

hahahahahahahahaha Deep breaths 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂… I’m sorry I just can’t…….

😂😂😂😂😂

The Telegraph, Express and Mail definitely give the Tories an easy time.

The fact there are right supporting newspapers as well as left supporting newspapers does not equate to the British press giving the Tories a “ free pass” please say you can see the distinction

Care to name the left supporting ones?

Surely you know

Yep you’re right, it’s pretty obvious

I can see why the yabu vote is as it is though

Yeah, most of those are centre/liberal. They just aren’t actually right wing. The press is overwhelmingly right wing in this country.

ah I see! You do realise its perspective. To me The Guardian in very left wing

It’s not perspective though. If the guardian is ‘very left wing’ to you, then you are very right wing. It’s a liberal leaning paper. You can’t just declare it far left because you happen to be far right…

The Conservatives might not be great but they wouldn’t be so stupid.
After all they’re the only ones that have costed it…..

With all due respect you have no idea about my politics. I’m not “far right” I’m a floating voter, I have been paid up member of both Labour and the conservatives at various point. I support some various policies from various parties.

The Guardian is left leaning to me!

Agree I can see two to a room very quickly then the partitions coming down.
It’s really don’t think it’s workable, but I only design them ( which has to be in accordance with regs ) I don’t have to run or work in them.

I think it’s a waste of money

You didn’t say left leaning (which it is - a tiny bit left of centre). You said ‘very left wing’.

A while ago someone asked if it was right that they are getting £4000pm in benefits.
A bizarre thread tbh

The posts were mainly supportive given the OPs circumstances ( 2 I think disabled kids) but there were quite a lot of shocked posters. A few (not many ) made inappropriate remarks

Same thing to me. The Guardian is very much left

‘Left leaning’ and ‘very far left’ aren’t the same thing. If that’s the level of your political knowledge, it might be better to read than post so often. The Guardian is a liberal paper. Slightly left of centre.

Not to me! I’m sorry you can’t brow beat me into either shutting up or agreeing with you.

maybe if you’re going to debate you should learn how to discuss things

Nobody’s trying to browbeat you into anything. Disagreement is fine.

Agree @Blossomtoes as long as posters don’t start being rude though.

So @blossomtoes didn’t tell me to stop posting so often when I’m merely responding to direct quotes? You just want to quote me and not respond! Interesting!!!

No I didn’t. You’re confusing me with another poster.
