Some small consolation...

[denorios]

So our next Prime Minister is going to be a woman - either Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom. That's something, at least. Of course, they're both Evil Tories, so it's not much of a consolation, but it's a victory for women, so I'll take it. Of the two I'd rather Theresa May - at least she was a Remain supporter

They're both horrible fix-hunting supporters, just like DC. I think Leadsom is marginally worse, in that she ACTUALLY hunts, and didn't vote in favour of gay marriage.

It does seem a shame that every female PM in your country so far has to be a horrible Tory. :(

Yes, it does seem odd that it's more likely to be the evil conservatives - you'd think liberal left-wing parties would be more likely to have more women in positions of power. Just goes to show that politics in general is still a man's game, left or right wing!

Given what's happened in the aftermath, I'm surprised that there are still Leave people are still acting like this is a good thing . . .or even talking.

Also, how awesome would it be if (and by if I mean WHEN) Hillary Clinton wins the election, and we have that first meeting between a female US President and a female UK Prime Minister

[denorios]

WHEN. It will be when. There is no alternative that will not leave me running screaming for the hills.

But yes, a female PM and a female President would be AMAZING. Female representation on that kind of level... /dreams
