Women could make up half of new Shadow Cabinet - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

Horses for courses ? Or appeasement ?

IF this is true, and there's no reason to doubt it - after all, the Indie isn't a rightwing Tory scandal rag trying to stir up trouble for the new golden boy, then it shows the measure of the man. Surely, sound common sense would dictate that he should be looking for the very best people for the job, regardless of gender, rather than trying to artifically up the ratio of the women in the cabinet. Still, I'm sure all the "progressive socialists" on here will approve.
