We Need More Women in the Cabinet
by Mary Ann Sieghart, TimesOnline, UK - Silvio Berlusconi made Spanish socialist politicians splutter the other day when he called the new Spanish Cabinet - more than half of them women - “too pink”. Doubtless the new women in Berlusconi's own government will be dubbed Le Belle de Berlusconi. For the Italians are even more chauvinist than the Brits, and our new female parliamentary intake in 1997 was instantly derided as Blair's Babes. That description was no more accurate than Hague's Hunks would have been of the largely male opposition benches.
