Cabinet & co-education

So far Theresa May is the one to have really drawn the short straw, though she may not feel that way. Wish her luck as Home Secretary – she will need it.

Adding to the comment about the lack of leading women among both commentators & politicians in this election, Womans Hour this morning made comparison with the numbers of women cabinet ministers in other European countries.

How many of them have had to stand for election I wonder, & how many may be prime ministerial or presidential appointments?

Even more crucially, I wonder if there is any correlation between the proportion of women cabinet ministers & the proportion of girls who go to co-educational schools?
