Good Old Boy #51

There is an article on Newark on Trent CLP's blog by Laurence Goff, who is Chairperson of Newark and District Branch, on the vexed issue of All Women Shortlists. It begins:

"ALL WOMEN SHORTLIST IS THE BEST THING, GETTING MORE WOMEN INTO LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT IS NEEDED. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY TO REACH OUT
AND HELP TO PUT FORWARD THESE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS. PROGRESS IS NEEDED TO GET MORE WOMEN TO JOIN POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE FIRST PLACE. FOR THE BETTERAMENT OF THE PARTY, LET’S GIVE A HELPING HAND."

Good stuff. The rest is here.
