. . . And Dame Thatcher made it on merit. If a woman of her quality ever shows up here, I suspect she will get elected. Let's see, the first female prime minister in Italy, Germany, France is . . . Not there yet! SO your point is WHAT? The first female Prime Minister in Japan is . . . nowhere. Oh, you folks found one. Wonderful, and New Zealan influences the world how?
Of course, being a Kiwi, how would you anything about the stupidity of tokenism? You have how much racial diversity? Let's see, the expat Brits/Scots/Irish, the Maoris . . . and who else? Enlighten me, I may have missed a few.
And since you want to play games with America, lets play "Bait the Kiwi."
Your nation got out from under the British Crown when? When did you take the Queen's picture off of your coinage? Maybe that's why you all voted in a lady, you wanted your own queen.
When women are Governors of states, as our Texas Governor Anne Richard's was here in Texas back in the late 1980's, with a GNP and population greater than your entire nation, I have to wonder what you are so proud of?
Try going back to the American missionary movement of the 1800's, while you docile little colonials were still servants to the Crown. When the women of America went forth into the world on missionary endeavours that built them political ties that then empowered them eventually to the point that suffrage was passed here. And as Shadow pointed out, that is 7 years ahead of the Commonwealth's North American chapter.
Sorry, I had forgotten how vital to the spreading of Western Culture New Zealand was.
Could it be that you all were too busy on your islands, sending off young men to serve the goals of The Imperial Crown, pouring their blood all over Gallipoli, Crete, and Northern Africa, before realizing that maybe you were being used?
It is not the critic who counts, it is the man in the Arena.
Show up in The Arena, one day, or be content sit in the stands and bitch.
The scrum half for the A-side can ignore the complaints of the short side wing for the D-side in any Rugby club.
