that's the problem, women aren't in the position of getting voted for in the first place, so many parties just don't have female candidates for positions.... it's weird because we're not stupid, we've no less to offer than a man does yet we quite often do think differently to men and have different ways of dealing with conflict and also ways of communicating which could be beneficial.
*wondering* why aren't there people like my mum in parliament? she'd fix things
