Sarah and Chris are both far too PC to give the show the edge it needs imo. Ivan was great at times and at times he came across like a Neanderthal(often very deliberately)but he was a good foil for squeaky clean Chris. The show seemed more natural and entertaining, while still covering current affairs in a reasonably credible way.

It's a horrible story, but I've already heard the Joe Duffy call twice and the coverage on the news bulletins on the show, and i'm only catching bits of Drive. It should be covered for sure, but these guys seem to be revelling in getting all upset about it.

Her central point was that if more women were ministers, more women would run for election, it would have been a lot more convincing if she provided some statistics on that. I thought that she went way overboard when Chris suggested that one male junior minister (i forget his name) would have lost out solely due to his gender if we followed Sarah's idea and her response was the most condescending "poor him" which I thought was pretty disgusting, that's somebody's career...... Even if gender quotas do provide for a better long term political system, should we not at least acknowledge that those who lose out because of the quotas are extremely hard done by?
