We need a competent Government and Opposition lead by competent leaders.

It would help if the Tories were not the only major Party who have had women leaders.. But that is the difference between having women MPs who are competent and those who are there because of their gender. A fact the Committee failed to mention. I wonder why?

If I can see it, no doubt others can..
