Recent analysis by Liberal pollster Frank Graves claims that if only women voted, they would elect a minority Liberal government. How convenient of Frank to do this analysis that women would elect Ignatieff. The theory goes that Tories are only in government because of men, who actually support the NDP in greater number than the Liberals. The Dippers have a 5% lead among men over Iggy's Liberals. So is this an honest analysis? The data does show that men are more likely to be Conservative than women, so why is that? I know that I have many female visitors who are among my most valued commentors. Hands down the two top Blogging Tories, Blue Like You and Small Dead Animals are women.
So when I see data that women are more likely to be Liberal than men, I get confused because there are so many great female voices in the Conservative Blogosphere. I would be willing to wager that even if there are more female Liberals, that female Conservatives do indeed show up to vote in significant numbers.
Frank is feeling melancholy for whatever reason, as politics are slow at this juncture and he tries to stir the pot - With little or no response.

Most of the women i know vote conservative. Just saying!
ReplyDeleteIf Graves study suggested that 0% of women vote Conservative then individual examples of women voting Conservative would disprove the numbers. Since the study doesn't suggest that then individual counter examples don't prove or disprove the study.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are lots of us. Some of us have money and do not appreciate the government stealing, wasting it on bloated governments and giving it to lost causes and pathetic not-for-profits. We also agree with men that climate fraud, long-gun control and multi-cult (as a free-for-all) are not for Canada. We taught our kids to work hard, take responsibility for themselves and have compassion for the deserving less fortunate. We did not bother to take women's studies, as we were already confident and hated extreme lefty feminists who hate men. We tend to find Margaret Atwood depressing. We love our nice strong men, and like to dress like women. We also respect civil rights for the GL community, though may draw the line at marriage. Some of us are pro-choice, some not; some religious; most not. And yes, there are lots of us in cities; we just get out-voted by the young, the poor and the idealistic.
