Nobody is asking for it, but that’s not the purpose: the purpose is to stir up opposition.
I suspect a significant portion of the population will be indifferent to the proposal. At best, they’ll shrug and say, ‘Sure, makes sense if that’s what’s needed,’ without bothering to think it through fully.
More liberally minded people react with justified opposition to the proposal. At that point, the Conservatives will rally the indifferent against ‘the woke’. They hope to gain support by convincing people they have a common enemy.
Thank you. I really needed a good way to describe what i was seeing the current election cicle.
All these weird promises, bad ideas, sudden legislations i am seeing around are so detached from the problems i witness. Every time i see an ad for a party i want to vote for em less. Some of it even feels like it laughing in my face and taking the piss at us.
They are just doing what they want at this point!
Thank you!
Edit: This rant has little to do on the subject of sex education in the uk.
Inventing controversial non-solutions to non-problems in order to avoid discussing solutions to real problems that they themselves have caused or worsened, which would all, in some way, involve giving money to non-rich people or spending money on non-rich people, which they see as an egregious waste of money.
There’s basically a hierarchy in political decision making.
Doing things that are good for the country.
Doing things that voters want.
Doing things your party wants.
1 should be the reason you get into politics in the first place because you want to make the world a better place. 2 is also super important, we live in a democracy and if you don’t give people some of what they want you’re not doing your job. 3 is basically day to day politicking. You throw red meat to members of the party so they continue to support you.
The Tory party is now so up their own arses that they only do 3 in the hope that they won’t tear themselves apart. This is some random anti-woke bullshit, that will mean it’s harder to catch and prevent child abuse, and kids can’t learn basic biology. And it doesn’t even appeal to what’s left of their fanbase.
it’s not even really 3 - i’d say we’re at 4 - inventing problems that don’t exist to avoid doing 1 and 2
these aren’t even things their party wants - they don’t really care… they just need to distract from the mess they’ve created to avoid fixing it for another election cycle
Who the fuck is asking for this? Literally nobody, the government is just doing whatever they want at this point

What the Conservatives hope to do is call anyone who opposes this a paedophile.
I mean I already call the Tories nonces
and it’s sex! and children! if you don’t agree you’re a groomer! therefor woke = groomer!

Or at 5 - salting the earth to make 1, 2 & 3 much, much harder for Labour.
There are definitely people asking for this, but its pedos, rapists and pro lifers.
Yes party donors.
terfs too
