New leader of B.C. NDP has to be a woman, according to obscure rule
According to this BC newspaper link, "The next leader of the British Columbia New Democratic Party will have to be a woman, unless the party's male president or treasurer resigns, according to gender rules in the NDP constitution."
Apparently, the NDP constitution states that both genders must be represented in the jobs of party leader, president and treasurer. With Moe Sihota (a guy) being the current president, and Bob Smits (another guy) being the treasurer, Carole James (girl; current party leader -- quitting)....and those who have stated they'll compete for the job being male.... it's going to get ugly in lotus land.

Shame "leadership" isn't predicated on "ability" :brickwall:
-- oh, but it's not my party
