OK, we'll I have done some rough maths.
Candidates only stood in 16 constituencies and got 5077 votes between them.
If candidates had stood in all 650 constituencies that extrapolates out to 206000 votes.
Personally, I thought this campaign was a huge mistake simply because it was always going to look as though it was an unpopular opinion if so few people voted for it. This will now be the new talking point whenever this comes up - 'noone agrees with you, Noone voted for you' and unless you then have the space to explain that it was never about winning but bringing the issue to debate, it's always going to look as though KJK completely failed.
I don't think she did, tho. Puberty blockers banned in Scotland. The SNP annihilated. The greens only got 2 MPs.
I think keir and Wes will listen, because any harm done will be on their watch now. And they're not stupid.
So let's be optimistic. And we'll done KJK and those other brave candidates xxx

The Greens won four seats, not two.
Two of them in constituencies with some of the highest proportion of lesbian and gay voters - which rather suggests that claims that GC viewpoints are widely held by ‘same sex attracted people’ are wide of the mark.
Meanwhile, it was a bad election for explicitly GC politicians. Cherry, Gates, Hanvey, Doyle Price all gone. Even Duffield saw her votes fall by 10,000 and probably held on because of the general pro Labour headwinds in this election.

It always astonishes me that so many LGB people are on-board with an ideology which aims to sterilise children who would grow up to be gay or lesbian.

Perhaps you could shed some light on this. Why do so many LGB people support this homophobic ideology?

It's a small number but more effective than spoiling your ballot.

I wish we'd had a candidate here in SE Wales I would have votef for them!
If I was a candidate i'd be happy that I stood for what I believed in and any votes would have been a bonus.

Jackie Doyle Price was standing down anyway...which is a shame in my view...as she was solid and had a firm grasp of the issue.
Labour % share of the vote was down in most places. Overall the vote share only increased by 2% in spite of winning a lot more seats. 35% of the electorate voted Labour - on a 60 % turnout. In Labour strongholds the Labour vote was down considerably - as people either voted for the Greens, for Reform, for independents or else spoiled their ballots.
Kemi Badenoch and Victoria Atkins remain for the Conservatives, and are the two with the most competence on this issue..

'@PlanetJanette The Greens won four seats, not two.

I stand corrected. Greens won the same number of seats as Reform.
And are the majority of these voters really lesbians and gay men? Or straight men and women who identify as the opposite sex? Because Pride, gay bars, lesbian dating events and any online spaces that are supposed to be for same sex attracted people seem to be more and more overwhelmed by people who aren't same sex attracted at all, but expect everyone to pretend they are....
