I have kept up with what was happening in the Senate for the upcoming elections and I am blown out of the water. I was at first surprised by some of the issues that seemed to be coming up in terms of how much power women who are aiming for positions in the Senate have on which party controls the flow of politics.
One such article that got me to thinking was this one:

What are your thoughts about the upcoming elections? What issues might come up if women are left in control of the Senate? Is it a problem? Could this mean a change in how some laws are passed or amended?
I think women should speak their concerns when it comes to policy making and they should be heard. Same goes for men and children. Honestly, I think that women candidates can be just as crooked as male candidates. On the flip side, they also have the potential to be just as influential in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteThis is very encouraging for women interested to be actively involved in politics. This shows the changes in attitudes of the society towards women's involvement in the public arena. There is still a lot to be done to ensure equal representation of both genders, but this is definitely a good start.
