If you don't support it, you don't have to sign the pledge. But please don't attack others for choosing how they give their own money. http://www.pledgebank.com/genderbalance20#comment_932132 Oh please....shouldn't this forum be used for something positive and not to make overtly personal political statements and certainly not to promote personal gain and self agrandisement on behalf of a small minority of people who believe in this clap trap? Positive discrimination DOES NOT WORK, it provably time and again promotes incompetence, so this will make the current situation worse. Dear god we have enough totally incompetent politicians and parasites as it is. We don't need more female politicians because they are female, we need more female politicians only because they are competent!!! This of course applies to male politcians as well You are entirely mssing the point, we do not need a change of "gender balance" in government, we need a totally new way of providing governance for the people, by the people. Fairness, honesty, integrity, honour, determination - etc. You would be better to set up a campaign to do something that actually helps the electorate rather than helping the elected - or those who would be elected. Remember this - history repeatedly shows us that those who seek power, rarely have the qualities required for them to wield it fairly/even-handedly, effectively - or efficiently. http://www.pledgebank.com/genderbalance20#comment_498865 There are also pledges for £10 a month (http://www.pledgebank.com/genderbalance10) and £5 a month (http://www.pledgebank.com/genderbalance20) - please give what you can afford! Many thanks!
