Chivalry is shit.

Not that it makes a difference who gets the seat. They're all a bunch of chivalrist, ladies first, white knighting, bigots anyway. Their male candidates won't be doing us any favors either. Quite the opposite, really.

You're free to make any choice you want, as long as you select from our list of pre-approved decisions.

Wouldn't it be nice if this turned out to be some prank to highlight the corruptibility of democracy?

Wouldn't it be nice.

Well that is stupid. The Tories did not do this and got a women elected PM. A clear cut case of sexism. Should be up for a legal challange right?

Don't vote for them?

They will get burnt on this one. They did before. Labour has become an elitist party, the arrogance of their response to the constituancy is obscene.

Then don't vote Labor. Democratic Party in the US is becoming as extreme with their 'War on Women" rhetoric. Just don't vote for them . . . if you do vote, find an alternative. If you don't prioritize Men's Issues and use it to guide your decisions, why will the politicians?

I did some research on this and I discovered this horrible, evil bigoted women got into power through an all-woman short list:

This is what you get when you create bigoted one sex-only lists:

Good, that decreases their chance of getting in.

The real question is, what are you going to do about it, men of UK?

They are taking away your voice from the political process. Ole King George would be proud.

i think this is a bad move for labour, the "blairs babes" all women shortlist were in the majority total failures and very few of them remain in politics.

LOL women. They're just as capable as men but they always seem to need special help to achieve as much as men do.

The worst part about this article is that half of it is dedicated to defending the need to all-women's shortlists, ethics be damned.

They sound like the Canadian version of the NDP at the federal and provincial levels. That would sink the NDP at the federal level over here though if they tried that... I hope anyways.
