Parker, whose real name is Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is one of the UK’s most recognisable anti-trans campaigners and leader of the Party of Women, a gender-critical single-issue party dedicated to opposing so-called ‘transgender ideology’.
She set out to launch the political party back in 2023 but it was twice rejected by the Electoral Commission before finally being approved in February.
The controversial figure stood during the election for the newly-created Bristol Central seat, which was won by Green Party’s out bisexual co-leader Carla Denyer, who told PinkNews ahead of the election that “pushing for greater trans equality and trans rights in society” does not “threaten [her] rights as a woman”.
Denyer took the seat with a 24,539 votes, a 56.6 per cent of the vote, whilst Parker received just 196 votes, equal to 0.5 per cent.
The dismal result means Parker will lose her deposit after garnering less than 5% of the vote.
Not only did she lose her deposit, but the independent Trans candidate standing in the same seat got more votes.
Hahaha, that is highly satisfying. Hopefully it helps Starmer realise these people are a minority and he doesn’t have to keep throwing trans people under the bus.
Lol. Lmao, even.
so much for the silent majority eh
She won the cultural victory though, [since Starmer shares her bigoted views](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/07/01/labour-frontbencher-refuses-to-answer-trans-toilet-question/).
Hahahhahahhaa get fucked, fascist sympathiser.
She literally aligns herself with Nazis. Fuck her.
Let’s hope she becomes more irrelevant as time goes on
Shouldn’t be allowed to call herself that. Parker Posey is a decent actress, she was in dazed and confused as well as a cool mockumentary about dog shows. Parker Posey has nothing to do with Posie Parker.
From the thumbnail I just assumed she was a drag queen
More proof that these people are nothing but a loud – and well-funded – minority opinion.
This is the woman who, if anyone reading isn’t aware, argued that the best way to protect women in women’s toilets from possibly being assaulted, was to station inside women’s toilets *men with guns* who could shoot anyone who didn’t look quite womanly enough.
Good. Much as she’d like use to believe she speaks for women, only the most extreme and vile members of the gender critical movement want anything to do with her hatred.
>a gender-critical single-issue party dedicated to opposing so-called ‘transgender ideology’.
Lol, a single issue party? They have no other policies? No desire to tackle crime? Improve the NHS? Help families out of poverty? Their only pressing concern is opposing transgender “ideology”? What a bunch of useless clowns.
Fancy being filled with so much hate that you make your entire personality around it, set up a political party and put yourself through public humiliation.
I’d just like to comment on how notable and newsworthy she is when I say, in all seriousness:
Who?
“Denyer took the seat with a 24,539 votes, a 56.6 per cent of the vote, whilst Parker received just 196 votes, equal to 0.5 per cent.”
Awww, poor Kellie-Jay!
This isn’t the victory you think. Lots of these niche campaigns stand for Parliament simply because it’s a cheaper way to get a message out to a mass audience than paying normal postage rates. They expect to lose their deposit, but they got a leaflet through 40,000 doors and that’s worth it.
Outside of Twitter, it always turns out these sort of fanatics don’t have that many supporters who actually care enough to turn out for them.
