Berlusconi and All-Women Shortlists

Got to hand it to Labour. Remember the whole blogosphere debate about All-women shortlists?

I still don't agree with the principle, but at least it has some semblance of decency when compared with Silvio Berlusconi's vetting process for his coalition's European candidates.

Apparently, all you've got to do is look is be young, female, and look good in a headshot.

Next you'll be telling me that you don't actually have to get any votes in order to become Prime Minister...
