Two more Tory MP's in a spot of bother...

[sinkov]

I thought horrible misogyny would not be to your taste mon ami, but then again you vote Tory,

Very strange people you Lefties, you seem to occupy some sort of parallel universe.

In the real world the Tories elected a woman as leader back in 1975 FFS, 47 years ago, Jimmy Adamson was Burnley manager, Jimmy, god rest his soul, has been dead 11 years, Keir Starmer was just 13 years old, Harold Wilson was Prime Minister, since then the Tories have elected another woman as leader, Theresa May. There has been a female Speaker of the House of Commons, a female is President of the EU, the Met has had a female Commissioner, the LibDems and the Green Party have elected female leaders, Nicola Sturgeon is leader of the SNP, Arlene Foster has led the DUP in Ulster, the MD of the IMF is Kristalina Georgieva, her predecessor was Christine Lagarde. The most regressive institution in the UK, Lefties will tell you, is the Monarchy, but the Monarchy doesn't seem to have a problem having a woman in charge does it.

Women everywhere, they not far off run the world now, and nothing wrong with that, but the good old Labour Party, founded 122 years ago still hasn't elected a female to lead them. It's not as though the bar has been set very high either is it, Kinnock, Foot, Brown, Milliband, Corbyn, Starmer, has the Labour movement not managed to produce a female more competent than those mediocrities ? Maybe it hasn't, but that's hard to believe, there must be something else at play here, maybe it's plain and simple misogyny ?

If not misogyny, then what ?

If Shirley Williams was the Labour Party's best option no wonder your blessed war criminal got in.

If this is the calibre of the men running our Tory government it's no wonder Maybot beat the blokes. A bloody outstanding job she did too!

Yes, all well and good BT, but it doesn't answer the question about the reason for the Labour Party never electing a female leader in 122 years does it ?

If not mysoginy, then what ?

None were bloody good enough sinkov. Simples!

A lot like any of this lot...

None as good as the one eyed Scottish lunatic, Ed Stone or the crusty anti-semite, go on then, if you say so, but why can Labour then only attract female halfwits ? They're never going to find a leader like St Margaret, that's a given, but surely they have someone comparable to Theresa may. Surely FFS ?
