Good on detail, can stand her ground, very knowledgable about housing. Go Claire. Housing is local politics not national. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree.

The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 People should progress/get jobs/promotions etc on their own merits. Not because a quota needs filling for "inset here" sections of society. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 There are plenty of talented women around who would make excellent MHKs. Most of them have other ambitions. There are also plenty of women in positions because of positive discrimination, unconscious bias, or gender politics. That has always been a recipe for disaster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to assess that though with politicians when all we see are them canvassing and their manisfetos, which could be written by anyone. Several postings on here suggest some of our politicians are not quite the shining stars envisaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them need someone to tie their own shoe laces. Too give an example Dr Allinson should have asked how many schools have victor halam buildings before engaging his mouth.
