It won't do much for working class women. It might make the likes of Harpy feel good though.

I hear it's because the actual rod has snapped and it has been replaced with a broom stick, so it makes sense. :-[

Is it meant to?
Did all the other (male) Black Rods for the last 650 years do anything for working class men?

Your bit about 650 years proves there ain't no such thing as a british parliament.

It's being trumpeted in some parts of the media as the latest shattering of the mythical "glass ceiling", despite the fact that the woman concerned ain't exactly short of a few bob.

This is supposed to be the 21st century.
Isn't it about time that all this stupid flummery was abolished in favour of something that reflected the real world? But of course, I forgot that we have voted for Brexit and the opportunity to live permanently in the past.

Many of the people I know who voted to leave have told me that they want "us" to make our own laws "just like we used to". That "we" want to control our own borders "just like we used to". That "we" want to trade with the Commonwealth "just like we used to".
How does that give me any super powers?

In those far off days Britain had more clout because it had invaded a lot of the world, NOT to its credit. Nowadays it is a very small country which needs to be part of the EU as it is unlikely to make a success of going it alone.
