Would you elect a racist or misogynist?

[Workingman]

I wouldn't, ever, if that was their only or major platform.

The same applies for the diversity and LGBTQ promoters.

I want MPs with rounded views who can be for this and against that without being hounded out because they do not comply with the agendas of some self-elected and influential cabals.

We are entering a dangerous period where only "right" thinking is allowed, but we have no control on who decides what "right" thinking is. It is not outright McCarthyism or Totalitarianism, it is much more subtle. They were political. Today's versions are sociological, and hidden.

Have a look at your TV adverts tonight. What do you see.... the world outside your window? Not a chance, you are being conditioned to believe.

Who defines who is a racist and who isn't?
I would make my own mind up and try to tune out what the authorities want me to believe.

I've been talking about this, in muted terms, for a very long time now. Watch UK adverts. Then compare them with the same adverts from, Africa, India, China. Take a look, compare. In all the other countries, the adverts are targeted at the majority and only have the majority in them.

Of course they don't have anti discrimination laws in the way we do.

On the voting thing. A protest vote is not a protest if the person you vote for is not completely unacceptable to your normal voting circle. Time was that this protest could be enacted by switching from Labour to Lib Dem or even Tory if you were really unamused. Today that isn't really a protest vote, more of a lifestyle choice. If you Really want a protest vote you have to go a LONG way past the centre parties.

Not just the adverts, look at the news features / interviews as well. Mainstream media is completely skewed.

But to answer the main question, no, I wouldn't vote in anyone I consider to be blatantly racist or misogynistic, but as Cromwell says, we each have our own definitions of racism.
One of my principal views is that anyone who considers me or my ilk to be racist is in themselves racist ......

In fact Ossie, I would put that in a much stronger vein. Anyone who thinks I'm a racists is, in fact, the worst kind of racist. Because everyone in my life, or around my life, is on Exactly the same level. Until they prove themselves, by their words or actions, to be worth less than the respect everyone else gets.
