thank you. the conservatives are on their second leader, the snp, the dup, plaid cymru, all have had or have women leaders. not the labour party, though, why not? does it have a problem with women? it's embarrassing and troubling, the fact thatwe_ceuard ourselves as the labour party being the party for women and equality and many of us as feminists, e§e§5;§ ll ;§f‘ e5217; bee? e71?- so having never had a female leader or woman prime minister, it's very embarrassing and paradoxical that the conservatives arenpteverr prime minister, they are on their second. butl! lthintlthereisj a reason for that. ironically. hem.)
