Sandi Toksvig's forms a new political party

I have offered to help.

I'd join, because we already have, in effect, parties run by men where women have no voice.

We need to shake things up a bit. Go Sandi, go!

I think that men are welcome in her new party.

This could be very interesting, although I do hope that their agenda will not be too narrow.

I think she is a very clever and thoughtful woman and I don't think she will go down the route of patronising pink minibuses and the like. She is much too sensible and intelligent for that.

But she cannot run solely on women's issues; a party considering only half of the population will have limited appeal.

I'm hoping that its womens' perspective on all issues that the new party will address.

This is why we need a women's party.

sigh
we don't need a women's party or any other sort of label party
DJ - you do know that this 'organisation' is biased and we should regard their 'facts' with a great amount of suspicion. from their website:
False Economy ' will grow and develop as the campaign develops, but we launch with these initial objectives:

To gather and map information and personal testimony about the cuts and their effects
To show that there are alternative economic approaches
To provide resources and tools for campaigners and campaign groups

False Economy is for everyone who thinks the coalition is cutting too much, too fast and wants to do something about it.'

sigh that's it then mollie65 has decided what we do and don't want - job done back to the knitting!

Strangely enough, mollie65, that describes my thoughts and feelings exactly.
Did you think I didn't know what False Economy was about? I feel quite hurt at that!
Actually, Teetime, my son bought me an online photography course for my birthday last month. I'd rather get back to that than the knitting. His partner was quite surprised when she realised I could knit, and they've been together for 20 years!

Mollie, are you saying that the Tory party is not biased?

Just a tad worrying that one of the candidates in our council election didn't know about this.........

Why single out the Tory party? They're all biased, that's the nature of political parties.

Well I've signed up for further info from Sandi's party. Will await developments with interest.
