I don't really like these things because they ignore many aspects of why you would vote for a party but I took an isidewith quiz and got

90% Reform
87% Reclaim
84% Conservative
81% UKIP
44% SDP
41% Lib Dem
90% reform - bloody hell. Born in the ‘50s?
Yep, I got a similar percentage in favour of the Animal Welfare Party. I’ve never heard of them and am not really an animal lover so probably best to ignore the results from such online quizzes.
Women's equality, Scottish Socialists, SN Bloody P, People before Profit and Animal Welfare were my above 85% parties!! Kinda surprised

What would that be then? The NP&E manifesto

Beatings for poor people?
Snip but that one made me laugh. Question is would being poor be Labour definition of not rich I.e under 50k or are we talking abject poverty
I'm not sure I understand the difference between your two definitions? :confused

Such a difference in this latest poll than the old one. What has happened here then?

Mirrors the change in the national polling and isn't that out of line when you consider the PH membership is older and heavily male orientated.

Nationally men were twice as likely to vote Reform than women were.

Only 44% participation based on previous poll (533 v 1219)

Pretty sure as those who voted on previous poll add their vote to this one it will get closer to the previous result - might be a small shift but it's not going to be huge IMO

Conservative voter for most of my life, but I'm so unimpressed with the Boris/Truss Farrago that I'm going to vote Reform. At the very least, it should make Westminster sit up and take notice that we need PR rather than FPTP.

Obviously, I can't vote Labour, because socialism is a completely flawed ideology, and I don't like giving all my money away to poor people who have outdoor sofas.

Yip. PH is a self selecting group of mostly men. It's not representative of society as a whole.

The bars are nowhere near what the final result when everyone gets to vote will be but they're useful information. I don't know who's gathering it by the way.

Voted and as noted on another thread it was for a candidate to whom I really don't want to support. Simply because the alternatives are so awful that it makes them the least worst option.

Interesting question, as the split for the Conservatives in the 2019 election wasn't anything like as drastic with 47% of men voting Conservative as opposed to 42% of women. So the traditional (in the last couple of decades) greater appeal of greater public spending to women doesn't really explain a gap of anything like that magnitude.

I think it is likely that radicalism in politics is less attractive to women, certainly the large numbers who are conservative with a small c.

In any case if Reform were appealing to Conservative voting women in the same proportion as Conservative voting men they would be much closer to the share of the vote needed to start racking up seats, but they don't so they aren't.

Guessing they're probably a bit less frothy and less easily taken in and Farage probably reminds them of their know-it-all husband a bit too much.

Because I am a bit thick, and over 60 [what idiot implied that!!], probably Reform. Always voted conservative in the past, they are just pathetic now. Labour,,,,,, just don’t like them at all, Lib dems, nice sentiments at times but just too wet to run a country, all IMO of course.

Farage, I agree with much of what he says, but I am not 100% sure he is doing it for the right reasons, I so much want to be proven wrong though.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be proud of our government for a change!

Maybe it turns out that women are actually less likely to believe in unicorns?

More like grandad? He seems like an anachronism. He belongs in the 1950s.
