Interesting political gender differences

TheCatWoman

It's been noticed for a while now that men in general and young men in particular are more right wing and likely to vote Reform, what's been missed is that the total opposite has been going on with women. Women seem to be voting Green in quite high numbers, and seem to be more aware of the climate crisis and more socially aware.

Another interesting polarity in an already polarised world.

I find it interesting that this shift is being under reported

  • You know I disagree with about 90% of their polocy but if they turned around and gureenteed free speach. I mean really not just speach they like, I'd probably vote for reform just because of how much I care about that issue. When the two main parties move towards the center they tend to end up agreeing on more and more issues leaving people for who the oposite position is prority 1 politically homeless. A 3rd party can pick up a lot of votes just by adopting those positions. People will vote for them over a single issue even if they hate 90% of the parties other polocies. Because floating voters don't vote for parties they vote for issues often just 2 or 3. It's why referendums tend to get much more political engagement than elections. Because most people have a clear position on anything important enough to get a referendum.
