It just occurred to me that within a matter of weeks it may be that 5 of the leaders of the 7 largest UK political parties will be led by women.
If Theresa May and Angela Eagle are elected to lead their parties, Conservative, Labour, SNP, DUP, and PC, accounting for 629/650 MPs will be women-led. Is that significant?
A lot of feminists often argue that politics would be less of a gentlemen's club and have a more consensus-based, common sense approach to problem solving if run by women. If women become to dominate the leadership of the nation, will things change for the better?
Having boobs didn't save a significant number of voters from voting for Brexit, so I'm not entirely clear on how boobs are going to lead the UK out of crisis.
