"Men comprise just 48 per cent in the electorate as a whole."
Eh? Just 48%?

Maybe that takes into consideration a proportion of men who aren't eligible to vote

oh the ones who aren't in the electorate?

( sleepybinky, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:47, archived)

Or maybe it doesn't.
It's the word "just" I'm picking up on, it's hardly a surprisingly low figure.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:48, archived)

it's almost 50:50.

WHO'D HAVE EXPECTED THAT?

especially since there will be more females than males of voting age
and of course the men would be too busy working to get round to voting..

Yes
but the women would be too busy cooking dinner to vote. Anyway they wouldn't know how to vote without a man to explain it all.

they sit around on there arses all day until half an hour before the man of the house comes home
they have plenty of time

but true they would need it being explained..

In context it makes sense
they're over-represented among BNP voters.

What about th 4% with cocks AND fannies eh?!?!

( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:49, archived)

I doubt they voted for the BNP

( Jobe, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 16:09, archived)

I dunno, some of the women do look a bit rough...

( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 16:10, archived)

Maybe because men work like fuckers, then die.
Wheres the streets are never clear of old dears whos' husbands worked then died dottering about clogging the place up.



I may have been to the Post Office this morning and be a bit biased....
(thediscokingpin, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:51, archived)

or maybe because it isn't by any necessity an exact 50/50 split in the first place.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:52, archived)

Could be.
Maybe there are just more voting age women than men in the UK.
Although I think that would be partly down to the my 'old dear' theory as much as anything else.
(thediscokingpin, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:57, archived)

Well there obviously are,
but it doesn't really matter why, I thought it was an odd statistic to present in such a way.
Women do live longer than men, on average.
