Note how they have dressed down for the photo shoot so they don't look too posh. Do you think they were told to wear jeans ? It seems that image is all these days.

If they have been chosen just because they are female, then they are the wrong people to be MPs. I want my MP to be the best person to represent me, not because they look good for a photoshoot, to fill a quota or because we need more of a particular type. Simply the best, better than all the rest......... Altogether now, preferably in tune.

What will be the next quota that parties select?

I have just looked in the Oxford dictionary and under MP the discription say's self serving attention seeking cash grabing parasit that only exists to fleece the general public at any given opertunity.

sorry it doesn't but it would be flippin great if it did!

I went for a visit to the Houses of Parliament yesterday, and I stood in the Prime Minister's place at the despatch box in the Commons. Brilliant!!!

Did you know that Gordon has vandalised the despatch box since he has been in office :?:
