She's also a hypocrite.<br /><br />The woman opens her mouth and comes out with the first thing that pops into her vacant wee head. The court of public opinion as a punishment for thieving MPs was a particularly good example of the drivel that comes out of her mouth. The consequences of that could easily have been foreseen by a far less qualified person than a QC.<br /><br />As you say, her record on Women was crap or a Women’s Minister... and in any case what the hell is that about. If women are equal why do they get a minister, even such a poor one as the Harman woman? Along with ministers for Scotland, Wales and NI, that really irritates. Either we are equal with English Men, or we want out! <br /><br />In any case, she will give Cameron a very easy ride over the next 3 months as she acts as leader. She’s not a star at the despatch box.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-18917856474361823092010-05-21T10:36:37.595+01:002010-05-21T10:36:37.595+01:00Morning SR: I doesn't have to be a boys' c...Morning SR: I doesn't have to be a boys' club as brilliant politicians like Nichola Sturgeon have proved. There are many other examples of first class female politicians too. My own MSP, Shona Robison is superb. She started as a list member; she worked so hard for people in her area and when she stood as a constituency member she was elected overturning the Labour member who had been MSP and previously MP for the area for years.<br /><br />I'm sure there are women from other parties too that are excellent.<br /><br />The trouble is that promoting people on the basis of their sex is dangerous for both them and for the people they serve, us!<br /><br />Having Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary, for example, was a huge mistake and I don't think that current home secretary is any better.<br /><br />That said there are also many complete and utter loser male politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-67466630491749235332010-05-21T09:58:58.324+01:002010-05-21T09:58:58.324+01:00I'm afraid I'll have to give this a bit mo...I'm afraid I'll have to give this a bit more thought.

And her husband Jack Dromey was parachuted into a safe Labour seat on an all male shortlist. And she didn’t exactly stand up for Caroline Flint when she said that women in Gordon Brown’s cabinet were so much window dressing. A great example of a talentless and moribund government that has been in power far too long (thanks to FPTP) haemorrhaging principles and convictions left right and centre.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-77467248720388416642010-05-21T03:34:44.523+01:002010-05-21T03:34:44.523+01:00Most women have more sense than to go into politic...Most women have more sense than to go into politics.
