Those who believe MN is more leftists, what makes you think so?

[ItTook8WibesToKnow7WasEnough]

Because to me MN has always come off much more right / conservative.

So, if you can point out what makes it so leftist.

I don’t think I’ve seen Clavinova post without multiple Labour posters going for it

That has been going on since what? Partygate or earlier. Idk how she doesn’t lose it but hats off to her for that

I don’t think that quote below applies

This is very true.

To be fair, Clav does come out with some "interesting" posts that do inspire people to respond with facts.

I think , if she wants to, Clavinova is more than capable of speaking for herself.

Of course she can. She can deal with multiple posters mocking etc in a way most would lose it at

I think some can't see it though as shown by replies and that quote.

What a strange comment. I know hundreds of people and lead a very active work and social life with people from a huge variety of backgrounds. I've lived in about five different cities worked in many different jobs and nobody has openly ever been anti abortion. Ive just had aook and current studies show that only about 6% of the population are anti-abortion. It's a pretty rare thing to believe in. Where is 87% of people are pro abortion. You're very much in the minority.

Honestly she deserves a medal.

As a Christian, my experience of many other contributors on MN is that they tend to be very negative, mocking, sneering etc. towards Christianity.

However, MNHQ have recently added a Christian Mumsnetters board, which I welcome as a ‘safe space’ for Christians to chat about issues in which we are interested.

On the abortion issue MN is absolutely prochoice, both in terms of the majority of contributors and MNHQ. Prolife contributions must be very carefully written to avoid being deleted by MNHQ moderators.

So given both of the above I would say that contributors on MN definitely tend to be anti Christian and prochoice, therefore left wing.

MNHQ is not anti Christian but is definitely prochoice.

I absolutely disagree with your assertion that being anti Christian (I think you might actually mean either anti religion, or atheist, which are very different things) or pro choice is the preserve of the Left.

You don't do irony, clearly.

I agree. Branding people as 'anti Christian' for not agreeing with some manifestations of Christianity is a gross simplification and a manifestation of the victim mentality some people have.

I'm an atheist. I'm completely in favour of people having the freedom to choose and live their faith. I just want that faith to keep its nose out of my life, hence I want laws that are made based on secular tenets, and I want religion and government properly separated. No Bishops in the HoL, no invoking any religious ideas when debating new laws. The laws of a nation should be there for everyone, not just the majority group of the faithful. And yes, that means I 100% oppose ALL religiously founded regimes, no matter what the faith in question.

It is also not the case that being pro choice is the preserve of the left. Plenty of right wing people on MN support the right to choose. People are complicated.

Cutting and pasting is not that difficult.

Because there are usually a bunch of reasons the 'someone' can not do so.

Well, quite. It would be different if Clav ever said what SHE actually thinks of the issues under discussion, but all we get is a screed of cut and paste, much of it over a decade old and not very relevant. That's hardly heroic.

In terms of 'work more hours' as a solution - that's privilege talking, operating on the assumption that it's possible or even easy for everyone to do.

Not sure what you mean. She deserves a medal for all the times she has been rounded on and not lost it.

To be fair, when the going gets tough Clav usually says she has to go out!🙂

Mumsnet doesn't really like us naming and discussing posters when they are not present, so I'll say nothing further.

Yep. This the amount of people taking swipes, if people can't see that and post that quote or whatever, is it because they are part of it, maybe

Oh does she, ok fair enough 😀

Regarding the OP - Mumsnet seems to be like the BBC. Rightwing people think it's too left leaning, and leftwing people think it's too right leaning. Independent analysis shows it's pretty neutral overall.

This.

She will debate all comers though. The going is always tough. I guess she might actually have to go out at some point but I don't think it's because a load of gobshites are having a go.

Yes agree with you. I guess we all have to go out at some point!

Wasn't there once a Brexit supporting poster who always had to go and decorate a cake at tricky moments?

Given how those threads go I don't blame them

Whataboutery is not debate.
