You just explained why it is sexist and wrong so why are you questioning my comment that it is sexist?

You quoted my line on me abstaining from selecting if an all women's shortlist is imposed.. I thought therefore you were referring to that and not the original argument of having women's shortlists.

Garinda say something else, we can make it three times lucky!

Who do you think should get it Andrew? As a member you'll have a vote. Peter has thrown his hat in the ring. Would you back him or would you wan to see and hear from other candidates?

Ok, how about 'I'm unlikely to vote for Peter Britcliffe, if he's yet again nominated to stand in the General Election, here in Hyndburn'?

Andrew has a child minder?

I knew he was immature, but thought he'd be off the reins by now.

You'll have to wait for that, we don't know who his opponents will be yet if indeed he were to be nominated to stand!

It doesn't work like that.

You have to carry on as you have been doing recently, and agree with everything I say.
