Hornsey and Wood Green MP Lynne Featherstone spoke to almost 100 students, aged 13 to 18, at the Channing School on Friday.
The girls’ school in Highgate has an active politics society and organisers Emily Mills and Naomi Lane invited their local MP to speak about life as a Member of Parliament and a minister in the coalition government.
Lynne Featherstone described how she ran her first campaign as a design student at Oxford Polytechnic and how she later rediscovered politics and decided that the way to bring about change was to run for office.
She told the students not to hold back from getting involved in politics.
“Often when I visit schools I ask the class who wants to be Prime Minister. Many of the boys will put their hands up but very few of the girls do – but that didn’t apply to the Channing School students. It was great to see so many of them there and so many keen to get involved. There are too few women active in politics and that is something that we have to change,” she said.

Yep, there are too few women involved in politics, and too few women involved in having an actual job, thanks to you and your shameful mob of lying dems.
There’ll be too few men and women in further education soon too.
Did you tell these kids that in order to get into politics, there are two essential things to do- 1) jib your expenses 2) make a load of pledges to get you elected and then drop them once you’ve snatched a little bit of power with a little bit of a cabinet post?!

Perhaps next time you could also ask to teachers to stop being so sexist against boys (it is supposed to be your job to stop that sort of thing after all).
