Isn't It - More Than 'Just a Tad' - Interesting/Intriguing Even How A Political Party (I.e. the U K Conservatives) So Renowned/Infamous For Its (Supposedly) 'Rabid Right-Wing' Politics Has Now Had Two Female Leaders - Each a Prime Minister (One For Over a Decade, and THAT Three-Four Decades Ago) - & *Potentially (If Fairly Unlikely, Admittedly) Soon a Third...Whereas 'Liberal' 'Gender-Friendly' UK Labour Has *Yet to Select Its First Female Leader, Let Alone U K P M...

In addition, 'The News' back on October 4, 2018 noted Jeremy Corbyn's own shadow cabinets to have themselves been the most diverse ones in parliamentary [British] history, if not strictly speaking the most diverse ever - 'taking either gender or ethnicity in isolation'.

*Yes, I'll concede Labour has had at least two female deputies (over recent times), so perhaps even more in its history (I'm not sure of the corresponding number for the UK Conservatives), but far as I've ever understood, none of these ever stood a chance in hell of succeeding to Labour leadership much less British prime ministership...
