[arista]

Was on BBC2HD Daily Politics

I have it recorded.

They also did a ball test for woman's party
in a nice relaxed shop zone

will they become a real party?
I hope not

[Northern Monkey]

She's missed the boat i think tbh.She'd have been more popular back when women didn't already have equality.She might get some fringe feminists and some impressionable youngsters voting but all the grownups will carry on voting for the mainstream parties.Imo

[Crimson Dynamo]

What about the Hen Party?

[arista]

Yes it is all to late
I agree NM

[arista]

What about the Hen Party?


No
the Labour Women
would stop it.

[smudgie]

Fine, then to make it really equal we can have The men's equality party.

No we do not need one.

we have enough fractions


The lady on DP was very clever speaking
but what is the point of this?

I agree.

It is bad enough the UK is split right down the middle on many issues and probably left and right too.
Without creating any more, than there needs to be, as to divisiveness between the sexes too.

True.I thought this too.The political conversations from this party could start to go against men in general very easily.It's not a giant leap.They would attract alot of feminists rather than just your average woman.Many feminists love to cause division.Who knows someone may even create a mens rights party if this womens equality party push hard enough with their rhetoric.
I think it's division that we don't currently have and we certainly don't need.It could just cause resentment between the sexes.

Absolutely,I agree with all that.

I agree with this too, I think there are issues where women are still "unequal" but equally there are now issues where men get the rougher deal so as much as I consider myself a feminist, I do think that should mean focusing on equality for men and women wherever there is some inequality

Some pundit on Fox News (ikr) was accusing Green Party Jill Stein of ripping off everyday Americans because she's raising money for a recount... :laugh:

Would be great if we had viable alternatives to a two party system, but I feel like a lot of these smaller ones are actually more deeply rooted in interest groups than the major two... just because it takes a lot more to please a loyal and dedicated niche's interests on the whole... than to represent a fraction of the population.

I mean beyond women's issues, what could they really run on? They have to run on something that would be a viable alternative party... otherwise they are just a protest vote.

How did I miss this response :joker:

Some men like a good pair of killer heels. So I guess a way to attract another important demographic? :laugh: Really stepping up there
