a woman as leader for the first time in its one hundred and fifty five year history and taylor and fernandez was elected a short while ago at a special conference in the western city of things barton she won sixty six percent of the vote meetings the morning line of the man steve lenz book forty seven year old daughters faces a huge task in reviving her party's twiddling fortunes yesterday had its worst ever election result last september. and that s.p.d. party conference for us is all political correspondent thomas thomas not as the first woman to lead the s.p.d. how significant is that. it is indeed significant because we're talking here about the party described as the oldest in germany and also because not a very important task a very important challenge ahead of her name really to push that renewal of a party that has suffered a lot in recent months has gone from one crisis to the next it is also important if

you look at germany's political spectrum because knowledge is not the only woman now leading a party we've got four women in germany why the leader of code the political parties so it is significant that not as has been chosen for a wide variety of reasons all right sixty six percent of the vote that is what she's taking from her party how convincing is that. it shows first and foremost i'm not everyone is happy with this and everyone believes that she will be able to push the party forward so from doc respect for her. it is not necessarily a fantastic result but on the other hand i don't think the s.p.d. was expecting another one hundred percent which was what martin chose the former leader. at one hundred percent which was a first a dream quickly turned into a nightmare for the s.p.d. as it then how did it worst result in the german elections so from that perspective
