This is why women gravitate left. I say this as a 63 yr old woman. I would never trust women in politics outside of Margaret Thatcher.
It is a source of pain to me, but I have to rationalize it by seeing her as apolitical, which she is.
She is no Leftist or even a Liberal, which I know from in depth discussion in which she participates and reveals her underlying stances, but her non-interest in what is going on nationally is a disappointment to me.
She is not alone in this, but I suspect she feels it is “all politics” and won’t affect her or us as individuals, and I am past the point of trying to explain to her that her fastidiousness at finding the cheapest prices for gasoline, groceries, or even investing our money, is all like spitting into a hurricane if your government works to make all the effort completely worthless by raising your taxes and devaluing your income.
Sigh. But she is my wife, and I have to accept this.
“I would never trust women in politics outside of Margaret Thatcher.”
The only female politician to ever be worth her salt! :)
