As a former executive at a local section of a longstanding national party, I agree with all that both Lesley and Helen say. I have left that party, shall join this one, so as to give all people the ability to support egalitarianism, and to encourage people with outstanding mental differences to be able to overcome the bogged down standards of normality. Regards to all, Stewart.

I’m interested but want to see a whole range of policies. This looks like the women’s section of some other party, while work other than women’s issues is happening elsewhere. And there is little that relates to me as an older woman.

All great objectives but before I think about joining I need to know your policies on the environment, animal rights (surely the next step for a party committed to justice and compassion) and defence. I await this information with interest.
