Articles now appearing saying some of the Muslim Green voters didn't understand the Greens stood for abortion, legalising all drugs, euthanasia, legalising prostitution, lowering the voting age to 16 and additional petrol/diesel taxes. Then there is their position that of trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid, I can see that going down well in the mosques.
It takes you seconds on the Demoncary Now website to discover this is something they seem to find at every single election. Thing is they report it happening in such large numbers pretty much everyone on here who votes would have witnessed it happen. Has anyone?
Maybe it is a widespread issue, and if it is it needs to be addressed and taken seriously, but it seems somewhat strange that this group see it everywhere they go yet election officers and police present don't. Even when the Conservatives were desperately looking for evidence of election fraud to bring in stricter ID requirements this never got a mention.
It only seems to have become an issue when Farage picked up on it and declared, in Trump-esque manner, that the election was fixed. Yet nobody seems to have been able to point to anything from Democracy Now to indicate that this benefited the Greens.

I think that's true of a LOT of people voting for any of the parties. How many people on the street actually read manifestos or do actual research? Lot of people it's based on stuff they get though Facebook and X.
As an example last election, where I work I had a few members of the public saying how they hoped Reform would win. None of them knew the actual policies - just vague stuff about immigration. And I would say most, if not all, of them would have worse off had Reform won given their manifesto pledges on cutting benefits and cutting public spending/public sector jobs.
Fact is if you want to give everyone the vote you have to accept that a lot of those people are going to be voting without actually knowing what they're voting for. I feel uncertain I know what I'm voting for, and I read and rank the policies of all the main party manifestos!
