Brighton Short Breaks sees Brighton and Hove demoing its as the most Right On community in the UK this week with the fact that it is the first occurance a parliamentary election has assembled an all-female list of nominees.
20 years after Mrs Thatcher broke governmental territory by being elected the first ever woman Prime Minister the complaint that the vestibules of Westminster are still a male dominated hall ring just as forte as ever! So, Brighton and Hove’s full female short list of Parliamentary candidates offers some encouragement to a future future change of soil in the gender equaliser in the political power world.
Being cited in The Argus , Fawcett Society chief executive Ceri Goddard said: “If all the candidates are women that is cause for celebration but also concern that it has taken until 2009, whereas all-male elections are still the norm.
“The voters if Brighton can be pleased that whom ever they elect they will be a step closer to closing the gender gap in parliament where currently less than 20% of our MP’s are women – less than Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda.”
‘Less than Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda……… ‘ – personally that peculiar statement left me slightly embarrassed about the state of our policy-making domain and questioning as to the grounds for male supremacy above and beyond the foregone antecedency that gentlemen should have it entirely their own way – and its a whole Pandoras box of debate that is safest left for a different place .
But my resolve here now is as – as always – to fly the flag for Brighton and Hove and exhibit how ahead intending and politically sensible our population is, and having a ratio of men to women in parliament more symbolic of the population, is in my notion, a pace in the right direction!

What does travel insurance cover? I honestly had never heard of travel insurance at all before my first vacation with my husband. He had planned our honeymoon, my first trip anywhere, and said that when planning a trip, travel insurance is a wise thing to purchase. Of course, he is usually right. He explained that if I were to become ill and couldn’t travel, then we would be covered if we had to cancel our trip. Luckily, we didn’t have to cancel and we went on our honeymoon and had the best time of our lives. He knows so much. I am continually impressed by him.

I have been fortunate enough to have the money to make investments that end up making me even more money. I have been able to live very comfortably for the past ten years and still actively invest when I see a good opportunity. I have been doing a little research about one of my vacation spots, Lisbon. It seems that Property in Lisbon is expected to increase in value in the coming years. It makes perfect sense to buy now, while the prices are still reasonable. Not only will this be a great investment, but it will be a great place to live.

I am the type of person who isn’t comfortable with unfamiliar situations. I like sticking with my same old routine and don’t like changes. So when I found out that my husband was going to be stationed in Germany, I was terrified. Not only was I going to have to move to a new house in a new city, but I was going to have to learn a whole new language before I could even function. Luckily, there are some really good german courses in germany. I was able to gain total fluency in just a few months, and after that the adjustment was actually pretty easy.
