The importance of having more women politicians

Today, at the Laurier Club, Anita Neville spent some time emphasizing the need to have more elected women politicians - people like Jean Paterson.

Today, only 21% of the elected MLAs are women. In time, this will certainly come closer to 50%. But what is clear is that more women MLAs will help to make the Manitoba Legislature a better place.

Anita noted that one of the elected Conservatives from Manitoba went out of his way, earlier today to characterize women as fickle. Is this characteristic of the Conservative approach to women?
