Whats the pattern that you see?
Is it that governments throw in a woman in a desperate attempt to hang on to power when they know they will otherwise lose it?
or is it that the public don't generally trust female politicians?
or is it that female politicians can't lie/convince as well as their male counterparts?
You would have to rule out the fact that it is a female politician, as like any politician figure-head, it is often not the individual that makes the choices, but the party.
So what is the pattern?
A pattern??
How about "You can take the bitch out of the kitchen but you can't take the kitchen out of the bitch."

Excellent, now we add mysogyny to the growing list, let me see....race hate, bigotry, white supremacism, xenophobia, antisemitism. Apparently badges of honour worn proudly by knuckle dragging mouth breathers. Any of you guys have mothers,wives, daughters?. It's great to see the sort of stuff that comes out of the mouths of the bible bashers on this site.
Just back on topic, in every single case it was a hopelessley rotten, corrupt, incompetent & reviled government that these bunnies were suddenly thrust forward, and supposed to save. The electorate had already switched off, just waiting on the ballot box. It is unfortunate that they (well maybe 1...) did have some talent, but it was swept away in electoral well deserved retribution .....
Please give us an election, oh the pain, the pain......

Poor ol' loggy . He thinks he's the only one left (no pun intended) who can make communism work, you know like Nth Korea, and Cuba. He's what Stalin called "a useful idiot" Anything the poor ol' fella can't cope with is fixed with religious vilification. Come to think of it, the Victorian laws in that regard were implemented by the lefties. So I guess he doesn't agree with everything they do then.
Loggy, go an' get a life. Learn to argue without having to resort only to ad hominem and straw man rubbish.
You're a sad individual!
I must admit, I enjoy the odd conversation with Loggy here and there. He does struggle to see any perspective other than his own, but such is life
