Pros And Cons Of Andrea Leadsom

Improved Essays
So here we are. After all the runners and the riders, the gossip and the rumours, just two candidates remain in the race to be Prime Minster of our great nation. You have the out and our favourite Theresa May, Home Secretary for the last 6 years and whose political zenith came when she dubbed her own party, ‘the nasty party.’ On the other hand you have Andrea Leadsom, who came to prominence during the EU referendum as a tough debater who is fit to tackle anyone, although some say she is too inexperienced for the top job. It is a David vs Goliath setting. However, just like David, Mrs Leadsom may rise up and defeat her heavyweight opponent against all the odds.

Due to the very serious financial situation our country faces, many May supporters claim there needs to be an experienced woman at the helm to help steer the ship in the right direction. However, hardly any MP’s have the financial experience that Andrea Leadsom holds, which will be so vital during this time of economic turbulence. She has spent nearly quarter of a century in the banking sector, helping her pick up immense knowledge of the financial system and how to calm it during times of struggle, with her being in the banking sector throughout the 2008 Banking Crisis. If you want a steady hand during this troubled time, Andrea is the woman you need.

But with political experience comes political baggage. And boy, does Theresa have some of that. Whether it be her attacks on civil liberties or not promising that Europeans in the UK will have the right to remain here, Theresa has picked up a knack of creating controversy and enemies. Compare that to Andrea Leadsom, whose biggest controversy has been exaggeration in her CV, and you see who would be the most popular leader. A fresh face with the electorate has always worked when compared to a well-known figure, just ask Gordon

    Ontario Liberals have a long tradition of working to improve the lives of all Ontarians. Today we continue on in the best tradition of the early party – whether it be making post-secondary education more affordable, and more in reach, giving families more money to help with the high cost of raising their kids, or investing in sustainable infrastructure, which makes our communities safer and more resilient, even helping to make Ontario a North American leader in clean technology – attracting more, higher paying jobs for Ontario families. It is important that the people who live here, and that will be mostly affected by who is chosen to become prime minister has their fair share of needs met, and their opinions voiced. With the cost of post-secondary…

    The Greenham Common protests in the 1980s saw unusually high levels of female participation. The protests saw women engaging with politics on the extremely important issue of US nuclear missiles being stored on British army bases. A whole new generation of women now felt confident enough to attempt to blockade a US Air Force base, as Jill Liddington argues. This can be identified as another potential turning point for feminist progress. Greenham was symbolically significant, as it seemed to give many women a new confidence, with many going on to college.…

    “The time for woman suffrage has come. The woman's hour has struck. If parties prefer to postpone action longer and thus do battle with this idea, they challenge the inevitable. The idea will not perish; the party which opposes it may. Every delay, every trick, every political dishonesty from now on will antagonize the women of the land more and more, and when the party or parties which have so delayed woman suffrage finally let it come, their sincerity will be doubted and their appeal to the new voters will be met with suspicion.…

    The 2015 Canadian election saw the historic win of the Liberal Party, ousting Prime Minister Stephen Harper after nearly a decade in power. The election was characterized by strategic voting, and the “Anybody but Harper” sentiment was raging all throughout Canada, as millions voted gathered to vote him out of office (Howard and Gillies, 2). How did this anti-Harper sentiment emerge? This essay argues that premise that it is a byproduct of Harper’s controversial stances on issues relating to women’s rights. A report issued by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives indicated that during Harper’s time in power, Canada exhibited a lack of political will to accomplish equality between genders (Madondo, 2015).…

    “In the past, it was widely held that women were less political than men, if not apolitical. It was assumed that women had lower levels of interest in politics and lower levels of participation in political activities” (Childs and Campbell 3). However, recently feminist political scientists have found that there is “evidence of a closure of the traditional gender gap in voter turnout” (Childs and Campbell 3). Despite the fact that more women are voting, lack of political representation is still an issue that plagues women throughout the world. According to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, only 22.8% of parliamentarians worldwide are women, despite the fact that women make up 49.6% of the world population (Population, Female).…
