I had meant the actual "ministers" though it is good to know that women are there to help out as "deputy ministers". That is more sincerely meant, than it might sound.</span><br clear="none" class="" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;"><br clear="none" class="" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;"><span class="" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;">But no Michel, I like you too much and value the work you do with the P2P Foundation too much, to let you or the P2P Foundation off the hook as accepting that asking for more female (and other previously left out "others") representation in the leadership of a modern industrialised "new-vision" Commons-oriented government in the year 2015, is too "radical" an ask.
