What you say is it is there... it is a possibility. Then you actually have the policies where it CAN happen. There is and should be nothing to stop a black woman being first minister. Or, there is no reason why a disabled gay man cannot be presiding officer. And that's the way it should be.<br /><br />I realise that it is a challenge for most people to believe that, especially of the Tories and especially in England. Their propensity to have upper middle class males who went to good schools and talk with a southern counties of England accent, and who put on a tie as they get out of bed in the morning is legendary.<br /><br />But they are obsessed with their bloody stupid targets for everything. The Tories are as bad as Labour. They must have their quota of blacks, or women and gays to prove that they are inclusive. The truth is that if there is a black farmer in Devon who wants to stand, there should be no barrier to him doing so, but they shouldn’t parachute him in from somewhere else in order to get their targets. Do they not know how local people feel? Can’t they see that this will lose them the election?<br /><br />The very worst results of target mentality can be seen in Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust. That is what happens when you take your eye off the real purpose of the job. The real purpose of elections is to elect the person the LOCALS want. <br /><br />I had hoped that Mid Staffs would concentrate minds wonderfully on the crass stupidity of targets first, people second which I have ranted about for years and years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-72584792116955953642010-02-28T02:41:30.092+00:002010-02-28T02:41:30.092+00:00I mean mess we're in of course.
