Thankfully Gove is now out of the running to be our next Prime 
Minister.  He was eliminated today as the list of candidates was reduced 
to two - both female.  The vote now goes to the Conservative Party 
members and the result is due about 8 September. What I think about 
Michael Gove is not fit for this list.  Supercilious is perhaps the 
least offensive adjective I can apply to him.

On the other side of the chamber Corbyn does not have the respect, never 
mind the support, of the majority of MPs in his Party. He may well face 
an official challenge and opinions differ as to whether or not he needs 
the support of a certain number of Members of either the UK or the 
European Parliament to stand in that event. We need a creduble 
alternative government for the sake of democracy and I do not believe 
Corbyn is capable of offering that.

Given the Chilcot Inquiry's obserbation that Bush persuaded Blair to 
support the invasion of Iraq when not all peaceful options had been 
exhausted, and where the evidence to support it was suspect, I wonder if 
the same scenario would have applied with women heading the governments 
both sides of the pond.
