I've just had a local representative from the Lib Dems canvass our house this afternoon.
I expressed that the local candidate has some odd policies regarding local issues for our borough, and our ward in particular, but because they are local council issues they probably won't impact my vote. The volunteer was happy to dicsuss why these things are policy, and what other things they might do.
However, I thought I'd touch on the issue of gender identity. The moment I stated that the national party's policies on gender identity and women's rights aren't aligned with my own political beliefs the volunteer immediately said "I can see you're never going to vote for the party", turned round and stomped away.
This really is a lightning-rod issue for them, and "no debate" isn't going to cut it.
