An article in the Independent today claims that us mums here on mumsnet support the Reform party, I was horrified to think mums of our future generations would support a grifter like Farage. So I’m conducting this poll.

Bots appear pushing different kinds of ideologies. Activity isn’t limited to support for a particular political party!

How can we tell who is a bot though? And who is just saying what they think?

It’s not possible. More like wishful thinking when the alleged bots express a different view.

I think it was something to do with an interview. It doesn’t matter if a site supports whoever - we all have our own vote.

Just looked at the poll result. People who comment on threads like these exist at the extremes of a bell curve. Ie it attracts those who have a strong view either way. It’s the majority who sit in the middle who decide who gets elected though and you aren’t going to see folk like that in a thread like this.

in a way it’s pleasing - we need those who are anti-reform complacent and sure of their own superiority. That will make the next GE result all the sweeter.
