I think we all know that the main political parties are going down the Self ID route. This is why we need to keep on campaigning and can be grateful for the work of groups like WPUK and others.
But in the meantime whoever next become the Government will be taking decisions that impact on women's lives as workers, mothers, carers and so on.
And its important to be aware of party policies (eg whilst sympathising with WASPI women that has been policy for all parties for some decades) and the damage they do to women's lives. There are many women who may think self ID is terrible but are finding it so hard to just survive that they dont have the privilege of time to do anything.
And everybody knows they are not legally binding but again by being aware of what they promise and what they do gives us information about how trustworthy they are.
I am by the way a serial non voter as I live in a safe seat and my vote is meaningless, but if I was in a marginal seat I would be grateful for the information someone else has taken the time to compile.
And their manifestos are their actions now. The demonstrate, along with self ID, what understanding they have if any of policies that impact on women living in austerity Britain.
