I think it should be a woman. I'd have an all woman short-list. Just end it.

I'm genuinely perplexed that you can't think that. It's quite clear Labour is incapable of picking a woman based on merit.
-
You really think the few women who have run for the leadership in the past have been so good that it can only be sexism at play?!?!!
-
Yes. Self-evidently. Because the only other answer is there have been no women capable of being leader, and that's clearly bollocks.
-
Not only other answer. What about possibility that best women decided not to stand. E.g. 2010 Diane Abbott stood but Caroline Flint did not.
-
Yes. But one of the reasons they decided not to stand is they knew they wouldn't get the support from colleagues.
-
Precisely. And why wouldn't they?
-
Because they want to stay in with the boys.
-
Or maybe the women just weren't inspiring enough.

The reason they don't have female leaders is because it always comes down to the 'vote for me because I'm a woman' ticket
