It's been nearly a decade since we've had a male Prime Minister and we've had two different female P.M's in a row (Both of our major parties, National and Labour - Our 'Democrats' and 'Republicans' - have had a female prime minister in parliment) - I have to say, I'm pretty content with our government, and our leader. She's very good at what she does and constantly makes the right decisions - I'm especially proud of the foreign policy she has chosen for our country. I'll be voting for her, and probably The Labour Party as well, based on how well they've done so far. I have no major gripes at all about my government.
As a leader, there are just too many restrictions, too much red tape and too many other people with input for something so trivial to have an effect on a country as a whole(Unless you're living in a dictatorship).....So I hardly think if a female leader is on the rag, that she is going to start a war. That's just a misogynistic excuse.....(Not saying anyone that proposes the notion is a myisgonyst, but if you truly believe the idea with a calculated opinion, well then....)

With arab and asian relations being key in our foreign policy, I do think a male would get more respect by foreign countries.
Now if the rest of the world started to change like North America in their judgment about females, I would have no problem voting for a woman.

i agree with coleman on this one short, no offense. maybe a couple more terms and the world would be more accepting, and also, do they represent america?
thats the question, i dont really have a problem with obama (except he voted for condi) or hillary but i wouldnt want them as the canidates for the democratic party.. the sad thing is that if the DFL wants to win, they need more 'normal' canidates, and a better campaign but thats another argument.

I would vote for them if it means the conservatives don't win the election.

To tell you the truth seeing what Margaret Thatcher did to Britain I've lost all hopes in seeing a women in office. But women are known to be morally superior than men, so if it comes to solving conflicts..they are not quick to jump on the war wagon..I'm pretty much a fence sitter on this issue because of its complexity.

I probably wouldn't vote for a woman because she would get absolute zero leniance with leaders from any other country.
