sexist, undemocratic and wrong
Link to tweet
Excluding women from the #GE2019 leaders’ debates is sexist, undemocratic and wrong. These two blokes don’t spk for Britain,we aren’t a 2 party country and the millions of people who want to #StopBrexit won’t have a voice http://libdems.org.uk/DebateHer #DebateHer
Oh what a surprise... male pale and stale 2019...
This is wrong on so many levels. But I think it will stand, because I am going to guess BoJo and Corbyn will pout and refuse to do it if the girl is asked to play too.
And you can guarantee that if they concede to Jo then Farage (although he is not elected) would demand a place - because whataboutery and wah wah wah, and one far right wanker in the debate is enough.
