Have you considered the implications/complications if this was ever allowed to occur .......
25 % would be absent at any one time either on Maternity leave, taking the kids to the Doctor, attending PTA meetings or getting their bunions seen to.
Parliament would have to close early every day to allow the members to get to the child minders or a early hair appointment .
Every month the Country would be at War with someone over some alleged slight .







over to you ladies

It is amazing how some people try to put words in my mouth. I never mentioned anything about reserving 50% of the seats for women or men for that matter.
