Reform wants women barefoot and pregnant

[Sweetiedarling7]

Reform candidate Matt Goodwin wants women to have children early in life and introduce extra taxes as punishment for anyone who chooses not to have children.

Misogyny in plain sight.

How long till they ban abortion too?

Women voting Reform may want to consider if they are turkeys voting for christmas.

Do you honestly think Reform care about you or your family?

As many are saying in the US right now, the cruelty is the point.

I cannot understand how they have so much traction. How dim is the general voting public to base their vote on the toxic press on immigration which isn't even true?

Agreed. I wouldn’t have the energy now.

And how do they expect younger people to be able to afford to have children? They can’t afford to get on the housing ladder, let alone rent - and how many rentals say no children or pets? Plus, reform want to abolish home working and return to the office 9-5. Hardly what I would call family friendly.

The contradiction I see is that Reform are concerned about the UK population increase ( 98% from immigration) causing pressure on Infrastructure and services and yet at the same time encouraging people to have more children.

Personally I agree that a larger population means that infrastructure and services are pressured and that the quality of life is lower. Also the most cost effective means of protecting the environment and combatting climate change is through population reduction achieved through both lower immigration and a lower birth rate.

That should be done by making having children more affordable across the board. Not by taxing non-parents more than people who have children.

Just from the top of my head, more affordable and accessible childcare, flexible working policies, better maternity pay and leave.

And then there are the issues that affect everyone, not just parents. Maybe if housing was more affordable, more people would have kids.

@CandleRigg89 I came to say something similar, but you said it better. Without a migrant workforce, you have a population imbalance with more older people dependent on a shrinking pool of younger people. Where are you going to get your cheap labour from? For the underpaid, undervalued, essential tasks like caring, teaching, cleaning, manual labour - stuff that AI can’t do? You need a working class to have an upper class for Nige to hang out with. Curb women’s career options by keeping ‘em pregnant so that after they’ve done all that unpaid child rearing they can get on with looking after the elderly and infirm for free. And the bonus of a new generation to exploit. Makes me sick.

Bluntly he has suggested that people of colour are not necessarily British, even if they were born in the UK.

It takes more than a piece of paper to make somebody ‘British’.

Does it?

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

28 is standard age, not young. That’s 10 years of adulthood. Average ftm age is 28-30 region

I think that the population growth so far across humanity has been largely dependent on -

a) Women's disempowerment
b) Religion
c) Economics

When women have reproductive agency, can be financially independent, and when societies become less religious and more prosperous, one sees a population drop.

To increase the population, ideally, governments would give women a financial safety net so that if they choose or have to leave their partner, or if they want to spend years at home looking after kids, they're not absolutely fucked as a result. I really believe this would work but it would be complicated and expensive thing to put in place. Unfortunately, that would be so radical that i can't see it happening.

Instead, their other option, which has already been tried & tested, is to take punitive action against those who don't have children, to make it so financially difficult for them that people, especially women, feel like they have to have children. A sad looking future ahead.

It’s a difficult time to be a woman, Labour seem to want to do sod all about the influx of misogynistic fighting age men from cultures that have women whipped for being raped, or the preservation of British culture which holds equality as an ideal, the Green Party can’t even define a woman, let alone defend women’s rights -everything is subservient to Male whims.

As a package of rather take Reforms policies over Labours.

Which countries have those incentives?

Russia, Hungary and Turkiye spring to mind.

I don’t like Labour or Reform. So I’m sticking with the Conservatives, even though I don’t think they will win. I like Kemi, and they align closest to my principles.

TBH I don’t think any political parties do, their focus is on money and materialism. Partly why my family has refers to rely on ourselves and support each other.

In London, it seems young. Most of my friends had kids after 35.

Is that nonsense Reform UK Policy or just one candidate talking through the back of his neck?
Please stop with the abortion hysteria. Can't happen so Won't happen.

try telling that to the average Nextdoor (the app) or Daily Mail reader who think that Reform are they new saviours. Here you are preaching to the choir

Their policies around 25% transferable marriage tax allowance and front loading child benefit during the first 4 years (which are the expensive ones!) are fantastic!

It’s also worth pointing out that pro-natalist policies are very rarely effective and have a minimal and often temporary effect on fertility. They tend to tinker around the edges of the root causes for low fertility which are complex and deeply embedded.

Fck fascist Reform, and Fck the Patriarchy!
young women need to use their power to live their lives EXACTLY how they want. The time for men dictating to us is OVER.

😂

What about young men not wanting kids?

I guess they want young women to have kids with older men in their middle aged man fantasy world.

The point is: it's a whole ecosystem that the Christian Taliban want to build. In Project 2026, they float the idea of mandated church attendance. The whole point of girls no longer going to college would be that young marriages would be set up through the church community and church events. The social pressure would be immense.

I keep referring back to the Heritage Foundation because when it comes to the culture wars, Reform has 0 original thought in the matter - and it's the same with the other European populist parties. Look up who attends the HF conventions in Europe and you'll get the list.

I am so vocal about this because I care about my faith. I am a Christian. I go to church very regularly (no need to coerce me) - and that's the point. My little community is full of kind people who go there because it's something we enjoy doing and thinking about the Christian message is part of what we like to do. There is NO POINT and NOTHING GOOD about destroying our kids' prospects. My DDs are a part of the community. They will have to find their own way in life and I hope they're well set up to make the right choices for themselves. That's why we have free will, by the way. God does not want slaves or robots.
