Harriet Harman Describing Something |
Harriet Harman has been left in charge of the Labour Party after their recent electoral defeat ..... however far from leaving well alone, she has decided to introduce yet more "Equality" into the party by eliminating any free choice in the selection of Labour Party Parliamentary Cabinet posts. She is now proposing. nay insisting, that regardless of who is elected party leader they must ensure that fifty percent of all Cabinet Posts must be all female.
I would normally assume the others would be 'all male' but this is New Labour, so probably the other fifty percent of the posts will be 'open' selection posts i.e. open to the Party leader to select purely on ability, either women or men (after all it would probably be 'illegal' to prevent women standing for those seats as well).
This policy appears to be contrary to EU law which suggests that discrimination on any grounds is illegal, but hey, we only obey these laws when they don't impact the 'Left's' pet projects. So we will have a situation where the Labour Leader and the electorate will be forced to take whatever "Wimmin" the party has as cabinet candidates, and men (especially 'White' males), will be severely restricted in their chances of a political career. Currently only about a quarter of Labour MP's are women, so they will have twice the chance of holding office than the men.
Of course, the rump from Browns Cabinet are willing to back this idea, simply to try and garner a few "wimmin" votes from the hard left of the party. She is just as dangerous out of office as in, with her constant harrying on about issues that only she and a few of the "Wimmin of the Left" are worried about. What I find ironic is what she is really suggesting is that given a straight contest women can't or won't be selected to shadow cabinet posts, as obviously Labour Prime Ministers are sexist pigs and therefore we have to make laws, party or otherwise, to force them do what Harriet wants.
Ms Harman has also said that Labour's opponents would try to "denigrate" the party's record in government, but "we will not let them".
- For every child who, instead of being cooped up in a flat, is playing in a brand new children's centre, that is our legacy.
- For every patient who instead of waiting in pain, is cared for by doctors and nurses in a brand new hospital, that is our legacy.
- For every villager in Africa whose life has been transformed by cancelling third world debt, that is our legacy.
- The massive public debt which means we have to cut spending across many sectors before we end up with the IMF again.
- Pension funds bled dry by repeated raids that will leave the UK pensioners in a poorer place.
- PFI debt which means that those 'brand new hospitals' and 'brand new children's centres' were built on the 'Never never' with the actual bills to be paid for by those kids when they grow up.
- As for Africa, well I haven't noticed one African country that's measurably better governed by cancelling the debts ...... maybe she would like to point one out?
Why do the Labour males just allow this woman to 'pussy whip' them? She speaks for such a small constituency outside of the 'left Wing' that they would get credit for telling her she was talking crap!
ReplyDeleteIf women can't compete on a level playing field then they weren't good enough. The trouble with these sort of rules are that they 'institutionalise' inequality by making it permanent that women, no matter of what personal qualities, will have to be given jobs based purely upon their sex.
What next, so many blacks and Asians? Will those also be subject to a 50% women rule? What about other ethnic groups and Homosexuals? Once you start on quota's you end ability as a factor and make race/gender/ethnicity the only considerations.
Society has been dumbed down to Chav level as it is, without making it even dumber. There are some Black US politicians who are elected purely for their ethnicity, who are renowned for being functionally illiterate, and even 'racists' .... is that what we want?
Actually the whole PC exercise is designed to silence common sense and is really just communist new-speak under another name .... its a shame that no one on the left feels brave enough to stand up against its tyranny.
