Morning all
So what are Jo’s Feminist credentials on all things that count?
Can I possibly be swayed back to Lib Dem’s, or is she another kool aid drinker?

Thanks

She's dispensing the kool aid as well as drinking it, she will agree with anything that gets her power and agreeing with the menz is part of that

She's my MP. She believes that TWAW so definitely a kill aid drinker.

Personally I've never been able to bear her since she voted in favour of keeping the bedroom tax.

Kool aid.

How do I now ever vote,
I voted snp this eu election and then they immediately took that as a mandate to demand indyref2.
I can’t vote for Lib Dem
I will never vote for labour again.
I am totally screwed. It’s so fucking disappointing.

You have the right to deface your ballot.

And what does defacing my ballot actually achieve?
They are looked at briefly independently, and then binned, according to someone I know who is involved in ballot counting.

Sorry, that sounds arsey, and that wasn’t my intention. 😊

Less harm than voting.

Do you think voting for a political party will actually make a difference here?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 31/05/2019 10:32

This is a top down push, that means there is no one to vote for.

You can either not vote, which is doing absolutely nothing, or deface your ballot, which gets your turn out participation counted, while giving allegiance to no power.

Spoilt papers are counted, and the number recorded. 600,000 people spoiled their ballots in recent local elections. This high number was commented upon in the national media, as "spoiling ballots is the new protest vote". If you genuinely cannot find it in you to vote for someone, then spoil your paper - but make sure to let your candidates know that's what you will be doing, and why.

I hope my spoiled ballots have occasionally made people smile. I try to be creative!

At the EU elections I drew a nice picture for them.

I don’t think you should be surprised that snp want indyref2 when the majority of people in Scotland want to stay in Europe, and we were told during indyref that the way to achieve this was to remain part of the uk....
At least some snp members are starting to speak out in a gender critical way unlike the libdems

It's a massive fucking shame as she really was excellent on WH a couple of years ago - I think with a book out - and I was really interested in following her career there after.

Justhadathought · 31/05/2019 20:48

To me the Lib Dems are the absolute worst......they will protect, and promote, any 'transgression' in the name of liberalism.
