Well, not quite misandrist actually.

After learning about the anti-feminist Justice for Men and Boys (And the Women Who Love Them) party today, we went in search of a viable alternative. A misandrist party, maybe?

Instead we found the Matriarchal Party of Great Britain.

Their policies don't seem to be as fully-fleshed out as those of the misog..ahem.. anti-feminist political manifesto which claims that "for over 40 years feminists have lied relentlessly about issues such as rape and domestic violence" and bemoans how "there are no areas in which the state disadvantages women and girls."

We wondered: is time for a call to action for a feminist party, a counter-balancing force if you will?

Enter the Matriarchal Party.

The party received 100 votes at the General Election in the constituency of Great Yarmouth, or a 0.23% share of the vote. They did better in the council elections the same year: they came third with 363 votes - more than tripling their support base - a 12% share of the vote. And then the leader mysteriously disappeared.

Now that the J4MP has regained a platform - there's a chance he might make an appearance on This Morning this week - is it time to resuscitate the Matriarchal Party? Let's find out.

Mrs. Margaret McMahon-Morris is both the Party leader, the treasurer and nominating officer. And possibly the only member.

Whilst her political creed is not outlined as earnestly as in the case of the J4MB Party (whose leader also authored a horrific book) we can make out fragments of an incipient philosophy which has little in common with misandry or even feminism as we know it.

Her influences are quite "green" as she calls for more action to "stabilise climate change ... supporting local research to use cost-efficient green energy production, and reduction from local sources."

She is also a staunch supporter of the NHS, saying she wants to "reverse the failing maternity and NHS services; failing social services; failing constabulary services" and so on.

So far so good.

FULL STOP

Then her policies take a different turn. She wants to leave the European Union and she campaigned to stop immigration "lawfully", adding, with a tone of finality, "FULL STOP".

Many of her embryonic policies are in fact bookened with a "FULL STOP".

So where is the evidence of the growing misandrist culture as the J4MP leader would argue?

We note with disappointment that none of Margaret McMahon-Morris' policies seem to be tinged with even a hint of feminism.

In fact the party name seems to be a malapropism. They do offer a few alternative names

Lawful, Trust, Transparent

Lawfulness, Trustworthiness, and Transparency

Seeing eyes, the most powerful instrument

Seeing through to the truth

Will she run this year? The Great Yarmouth borough has told us they have received no news from her. Yet the party is still registered with the Electoral Commission.

But perhaps feminists should look elsewhere. It is curious there isn't a single-issue feminist party in the UK - after all Sweden elected a feminist MEP last year. Mike Buchanan is getting loads of publicity now - should feminists attempt the same tactics?
