And as I'd suspected. We are third last in western Europe in how many female MPs we have, after Ireland and Italy.

Shite. It's getting worse for women, not better.

I don't believe it's a pipeline thing. There have been many talented women in the pipeline for decades.

We are talking about it on the 'can't stand the heat' thread too. I struggle to believe it is just a pipeline thing TBH.

We've waited long enough already

we have quite a few female local councillors and they're really good, i think it just takes time (hopefully)

I would join you if I hadn't watched the killing where it's always dark and raining
