Who to vote for in bi election

Name changed , though not a regular poster. Due to the resignation of our Labour M.P. there will be a bi election in my constituency soon. Apparently Reform have a decent chance of winning. I’ve vowed never to vote Labour again due to their stance on women but I think Reform are obviously worse. Last time I was one of a handful who voted for the SDP as they are left wing but gender critical. Labour won by a huge margin.

There is a candidate for the Workers Party of Great Britain who is gender critical but I don’t want to vote for him if it means that Reform win.

What do you all think?

Some Labour MPs (or wannabe in this case) are GC. It's worthwhile emailing them and flat out asking them. Or go to a wossname, if they have one, when you may be able to question them...stump? I suspect it'd be humiliating to lose to Reform. They know the majority of the public hate gender ideology, unless the candidate it a true believer they may be willing to stand up for sense. So, I'd ask them are they willing to stand up for sanity or are they so in thrall to lunacy, and the captured unions, that they're willing to see their nascent political career drowned at birth.

If you really can't bear to vote Labour, and I don't blame you, I'd still get in touch and tell them why.

Vote where your conscience tells you, or spoil your ballot. If Reform win it's because Labour lost. It's not on you.

I think your title is misleading, that's what I think. I was wondering what on earth a bi(sexual) election was! (It's by-election.)

By election!

I'd vote for the candidate who most closely reflected my own views. Perhaps losing would give Labour a kick up the bum.

Yes, I clicked on this out of bi-curiosity

You really can't risk voting for Reform. Vote for anyone, even if you hate them, but not Reform, they want to devastate public services and give huge tax cuts to the very wealthy.

I'd write to your Labour candidate and say the issue is important to you and you'll be voting depending on their reply. See what they say. Like you I couldn't vote for a candidate who supported gender woo. My Labour MP appears to be fairly gender critical so I'm happy to give him my vote. I was concerned about Reform too in the last election and Labour did just enough backtracking on 'safe spaces' to make me think they at least knew there was a problem.

Same in my constituency, unless we live near each other.

if it is, Reform have a very strong chance of winning. I’ll be honest, I hope they do. The Labour council have destroyed my hometown, utterly destroyed it.

Thanks everyone. Sorry for spelling mistake. I’d had my Friday wine .
