Not in My Name

For the last eight years, I've been finding myself getting increasingly angry at decisions made in my name. Instead of fighting back, and pushing what I believe in, I've been punishing myself. Well no more! I'm tired of taking the bulk of my anger in on myself.

So here I am back in the blogging sphere. Those of us who believe in better, and in the inherent good of what we as a species can accomplish must gather together where we can to promote our thoughts.

For years "Worcester Woman" has been used as a catch all term for what seems to me to denigrate female voters living in this beautiful city in the West Midlands, and I want to claim it back!

In all seriousness, I am a female voter in a marginal Westminster seat, with our sitting MP having been elected with only 39.5% of the vote. If Worcester Woman was once the typical voter parties needed to court, maybe it's time they all listened.

  1. Maybe it's about time you rejoined Labour and joined those of us fighting for a left wing party from within.

  2. Ah, ever the Catch 22. It has moved away from its socialist roots, so I lose my connection with it, but that connection cannot be remade without the input of those like myself...

    I support Ed M fully at the moment, but I am still unconvinced as to what plans the Purple faction will force onto the Party.
