If you believe men and women can't change sex, who are you going to vote for?

[QueenofTheBorg]

Has Keir come to his senses or is he still insisting that some men have cervixes?

What's your view on who a GC woman should vote for?

Mordaunt is second favourite to succeed him. Badenoch has been favourite for a long time. The bookies agree and their livelihood depends on being usually right on these things...

British Politics Next Conservative Leader Betting Odds | Politics | Oddschecker

I'm not a single issue voter, but I give a lot of weight to this issue. I'm not currently planning to vote Tory and never have before, but clearly they are an option.

If the Conservatives elect a leader who is even more to the right of Sunak, like Badenoch, then they have no chance of winning back votes.

The majority of British people are centrist voters. They don't like the divisive, right wing approach of the current Conservative party, as seen in the local elections. They aren't going to return to the Conservatives under Badenoch. That would just show how out of touch the party has become.

No skin off my nose if that's what the Conservatives decide but it would just be shooting themselves in the foot again!

In my constituency the options on the ballot paper are:

The Tories
Labour
The Lib Dems

How do you know? The closing date for candidate hasn’t been reached yet.

How do you know @MissScarletInTheBallroom? The options on your ballot have not been finalised.

Labour or Greens. There are issues I care far more about than this.

Those were the choices last time. There's no talk of any other options being added to the list this time.

Reform UK did a deal in the last election to step aside to help Johnson win and Get Brexit Done.🙄 There is no such deal this time and they are putting up candidates in most constituencies in England.

This will be an interesting election in terms of the smaller parties keen to capitalise on the chaos in the Conservatives and the haemorrhage of support for the party.

Kinda hoping one of the local independents will be able to stand, though it is an expensive endeavour, as they tend to actually listen, but I'm in a largely Labour safe seat that just swung even more in favour of Labour in the recent May elections.

Reform though. Ugh.

Greens obviously a nonstarter as well even if they do stand in my consistency, which they probably won't.

We had a semi-independent candidate a couple of times. She was great. Wish I could vote for her again.

Labour. No party completely reflects my personal views 100% so it's the best fit when everything is taken into account. That and the tory who is standing for re-election is an absolute piece of work, based purely on him and his voting record my vote would go for the most likely contender against him, which again is Labour for my constituency

I'm voting Labour because the independents in my area have no chance so it's a straight Labour/conservative decision.

Nothing could make me vote conservative. A few of them might be saying the right things but they've been in charge for 12 years and have done very little to address this absolute shit show so the recent soundbites are purely to try to get votes.

I refuse to risk another Conservative government, so will vote Labour, in any case the smaller parties in my area are dominated by TRAs (Lib Dem and Green). I've failed to change our Conservative MP's view that TWAW, I've attended constituency surgeries, written letters.

This is absolutely the case but many Labour obsessives on here will deny it. The grassroots wanted her last time and were furious that they were not allowed to vote.

Badenoch has been an impressive voice on this matter. In fact I think she's one of those up front MPs that isn't duplicitous about her opinions generally. Like her or loathe her, at least you don't need to worry that she'll use woolly language to lie to your face.

She's not renowned for being truthful.

Labour. I abhor their stance on sex issues but the Tories have systematically destroyed the NHS, education, free trade and so much more. I can’t vote on just one issue. Plus a monkey in a blue rosette would get in where I live . In fact, one did last time.

Pretty much exactly this - especially the monkey bit 🐵

Worker's Party - Galloway is sound on basic principles with no messing around.

Agree with this-^

Labour. I don't like their plan that anyone can effectively identify into the other gender with a GP's permission but I think if we have five more years of Tory government health provision will crumble to the degree that some unlucky people in the wrong postcode won't even have access to a GP.

But it is not just "one" thing, is it? I don't want leaders who can't understand basic science and are prepared to say anything to get a vote/receive donations. I just don't trust them on anything else at this point. I don't mind a debate on the issue at all but it has to have a factual basis - not "some women have a cervix" nonsense.
