Read MoreWhy do right wing parties not want women?
Some fruit loop Liberal MP in Australia wants her party to lurch to the left by (gasp) doing something to get more women into Parliament. Doesn't she know that parties on the right don't do that sort of thing?
Read MoreWill no one rid me of this turbulent German?
