Curious to know how many people would still vote Tory if Liz lands the job. I would think she will lose them the next election..?
Maybe Rishi will run as an independent candidate?

How would you vote in the next General Election? And why?

Tory of course. They know what a woman is.

Tory of course. They know what a woman is.

When you say they know what a woman is, do they also know what women are not? Do they know that women are not eating so their children can, they are not able to afford period products, they are unable to escape domestic violence because there is no social housing and nowhere for them to go apart from a crappy b&b, that they are trapped in low paid work because of the erosion of workers' rights and lack of affordable childcare and are trapped in caring roles because of the crisis is social care?

Whichever local candidate has the best chance of beating the Tories.

Those Still voting Tory - I have no words 😪

Whichever candidate has the best chance of beating Tories like the above poster said.

Exactly.
I'm sick of this bollocks trite phrase people trot out because they know how it will sound if they say 'tories protect my financial interests and that is more important to me than society going to the dogs'.
Boris said he knows what a woman is because he knew women like the MN middle class would lap it up. Reality shows how much the tories value women- not one bit. Maternity care is shit, employment rights and wages (particularly teaching, nursing and care work- oh right mostly female roles!) are increasingly shit, childcare cost and provision is increasingly shit, I could go on. Women were disproportionately affected by Covid policies while the tories were partying it up. The Queen (one of these 'women' the tories know) followed policy and sat alone burying her husband while Boris sat quaffing with his cunt brown nosers breaking the rules.
It doesn't matter if someone says 'I know what a woman is' if that person treats women like something off the bottom of their shoe!

If it wasn't clear from my post, as a mixed race teacher from a single parent working class family with a mum who is a nurse in the NHS. I will never, ever vote tory.

CaptainBarbosa · 24/09/2022 11:25

I'm in a labour stronghold, you could put a cat with red rosette up for labour here and they would still win.

I will vote labour though because the Tories can't just continue to expand the weather gap.

I hate labour's stance on women's rights but I can only hope they wake up before the next GE and start paying attention to the adults in the room.

I'll be voting Labour whatever come the next election, I will never, ever vote for the Tories. I cannot forgive them for what they have done to society, particularly to disabled people, to millennials and Gen Z. It's appalling.

washingbasketqueen · 24/09/2022 11:27

I live in NI and we can't vote for Tory, Labour, Lib Dem etc so have zero say in who the governing party and prime minister will be. And they call this a democracy!

whattodo2019 · 25/09/2022 17:47

Conservatives

Do you honestly think the Tories give a shit about women? Wake up. Look at how they actually treat women.
They have utterly destroyed this country due to serving their own interests and that of the privileged few who throw plenty of money their way to keep it that way. I cannot believe anyone would still vote for them after they have shown this week exactly where their priorities lie. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. The most corrupt, dishonest, self-serving party ever known.
This is a parental forum and as a parent and teacher I can tell you they have utterly destroyed Education and every parent would be utterly horrified if they knew exactly how many teachers have left, want to leave and how we are facing a huge shortage and that school age being forced to use less and less qualified people to plug the gaps. The damage they have done is unbelievable.
Same with the NHS as well as Brexit being an unmitigated disaster- hence why they have stopped the publication of economic forecasts because they are so bad and show exactly what a mess they have made of everything while they are busy lining their pockets and that of their rich mates. Unless you are a selfish rich person or incredibly stupid, then you should be voting for whoever will get them out because anyone who thinks they have a single iota of intention to help ordinary people is delusional.

Pourmeanotherwine · 25/09/2022 18:17

Labour or green.
Ive never voted Tory and never will.
Not that my vote will help get rid of Liz and co, Im in a constituency that has been Labour since 1935.

Circleoflife2057 · 25/09/2022 18:25

Labour
But anything would be better than what we've got now and had the past few years.

Pinktoothbrushesarefab · 25/09/2022 19:16

Larry the Cat every time !😼

Cockerdileteeth · 25/09/2022 19:24

Tactically, for the candidate most likely to beat the Tories, like I normally do. I live in a constituency that would probably return the proverbial donkey in a blue rosette to Parliament, but bigger majorities have fallen lately so you never know.

Cockerdileteeth · 25/09/2022 19:29

I understand people feel strongly about self-ID but I don't think you can vote on a single issue like that at national elections. You can't ignore the environment, climate change, the energy crisis, the NHS, education, the plight of the most vulnerable in society...

Whoever can accurately define a woman.

I would not trust any party who is happy to deny basic biology with, for example, a health emergency like covid. Would you listen to medical advice from a doctor who thinks women can be men and vice versa? This is so much bigger than just self ID.

I find myself forced to vote Tory as a protest vote againt Lab/lib/green. I cannot spoil my ballot or not vote at all.

Yucca78 · 02/10/2022 13:58

Labour..despite their stance on women's issues.....so with many reservations but the tories are destroying this country

blacksax · 02/10/2022 13:59

I would rather vote for next door's cat than the Tories, that's for sure.

Unfortunately, I live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country, so it will be the devil's own job to get the bastards out.
