Depressing and cheering

Yet another British political party is seeking a new leader – Menzies Campbell having been pushed on to his sword by the Liberal Democrats. What’s depressing is that there isn’t a single woman even being mentioned as an outside possibility for the leadership.

Indeed, was the last woman being seriously considered for the leadership of one of the three biggest British political parties Margaret Thatcher? (I wasn’t in the country all of that time, so I’d be interested to know if there were any other runners.)

But the good news is that Caroline Lucas was overwhelming elected female principal speaker of the Green Party, and is clear out standout individual – and might even be our leader soon.
