I'm citing that comment because I don't like the cut of your jib, Oh Captain, my Captain.
Labour Central office are imposing all female candidate nominations of certain Constituency Labour Parties around the country. Whilst it seems like "pc gone mad" the current male/female balance of the Parliamentary Labour Party does not represent the broadly 50/50 male/female balance around the country. Personally speaking, if they have the right political values, I will back them all the way.
