UK Electorate Rejects "Positive Discrimination"

Rob writes "Fantastic news! British electorate today rejected a female candidate imposed in a constituency from an "all woman shortlist" for the United Kingdom's General Election. Peter Law resigned in protest from the Labour Party, stood as an independent and caused one of the biggest reverses in UK Election history by winning one of the safest Labour seats in the UK. 20,000 folk agreed with him. Let's hope this is the start of some common sense. And an acknowledgement that whether in politics, the work-place or just real life, women compete purely on their own merits without any help from the PC brigade."
