Cynical vote grabbing.
Obviously.
The sort of tokenism that'll probably lose this jerk as many votes as he'll gain. -
Can you have democracy and not have cynical vote grabbing?
On the plus side at least Ken Clarke is out. With a bit of luck he'll jump off a skyscraper and fall onto Vince Cable.
PS I retract that last statement. The fat bastard would probably kill at least 45 innocent people.bloggoth

So we've had 'Blairs Babes' and now we've got 'Camerons...', its obviously an attempt to get the female vote (more likely to vote liebour) which if its pans out means Millibland won't be a shoe in next year (one can only hope).Comment

Personally I vote for who can do the job, regardless of whether they are male or female.
I'm surprised that Cameron thinks it will make that much difference, and I would we (the voting public) have a bit more intelligence than to vote for the ones we simply like the look of. Although I do bet on horses by that logic. Oh look a pretty grey one, he's worth a tenner...Comment

Cynical vote grabbing? Of course it is, they're politicians, it's what they do.
Since the alternative to Cameron's lot is Milliband and his cronies it's not like there's any alternative.
Lib Dems have imploded, their vote will be gone for quite some time following the failure to deliver their promises. UKIP aren't actually an alternative, just a way to split the more right of center vote which makes the insipid Milliband the successor to B'Liar and Brownjob more likely.Comment

There is also a broader agenda at play here which is to encourage more women into Politics. I will add that the CVs look pretty encouraging. It would be nice to see more Tory women that are hopefully not driven by petty jealousies and self righteousness like the labour lot.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
