/// “Do they look like modern Britain or still look too white, male and
privileged? ///

Does Sarah Wollaston really think that modern Britain is too black, female and under privileged?

It would seem so from her rather racist and sexiest statement.

[emmie]

many people take things on face value, suggest the tories are unglued because of that, white, wealthy, and very very privileged, not to say there aren't some very wealthy white men in the Labour party, however they are not currently in power,

[emmie]

Ms Wollaston is wrong about one thing Theresa May would be the wrong person to lead the party, she has been shown to not lead, nor indeed make concrete decisions where it was vital she did so, not a good person for PM, or perhaps the Tory party, women should get jobs if they have earned them, pretty much how men should get jobs, in cabinet or outside, of course it doesn't always happen that way, but having positive discrimination doesn't always work..

The problem is AOG, there are just not enough white middleclass poshboys in the country. So the party needs to appeal to a wider demographic. Unfortunately, the Conservatives are not appealing to women, and they need women to vote for them if they are to have any chance of winning the next election.

// An ICM/Guardian poll this week giving Labour a 12-point lead over the Conservatives for the first time in almost a decade also suggested a wide and growing voting gender gap.

While Labour had a seven-point lead over the Tories (36%-29%) among men, among women it was 26 points (51%-25%). //

I fear the warning is too late and that he does not have enough time time to make the necessary changes.

To say they party must present something to appeal to women and minorities is not sexist or racist.

as a woman i wouldn't vote labour if my life depended on it..

You appear to be in a small minority then, if the above poll is to be believed.

Any figures on ethnicity?

/// To say they party must present something to appeal to women and minorities is not sexist or racist. ///

No but the following is.,

David Cameron is “running out of time” to rid the Conservatives of their “posh, male and white” image,

/// the Prime Minister’s “inner circle” still appear “far too posh, male and white”. ///

[emmie]

should it matter if they are posh, white, privileged however, if they can get the job done, which is to get the economy moving, get immigration under control and tackle the leviathan that is the EU, can you honestly see Ed Milliband doing in at the next election, has he promised anything at all that looks doable.

as an aside, it appears they can't get the job done.

Should it matter if they are women, from a minority, if they can get the job done, which is to get the economy etc etc.

If you want to write Labour pander to the blacks the do so, but you can go and find your own figures




//No but the following is (sexist and racist)

Er, no it isn't.

Er, no it isn't.

Then what about David Cameron is “running out of time” to 'RID' the Conservatives of their “posh, FEMALE and BLACK” image?

Obviously you agree they do, but that is their stock in trade, how else will they possibly get in again after those last 13 disastrously unforgettable years, if it wasn't for pandering to the ethnic vote and the scroungers of society?

But I didn't mention blacks you did,

[emmie]

Labour pick up votes, points call them what you will because the current lot aren't moving fast enough, have not done enough in the time they have been in power, never mind the fact that we had 13 years of Labour, chances are they will get in again..
