Ségolène Royal
EDM number 190 in 2006-07, proposed by Sharon Hodgson on 21/11/2006.
That this House warmly congratulates Ségolène Royal on being decisively elected by party members as the first mainstream, and first ever French Socialist, female party candidate for the French Presidency; believes that her victory is an important sign of positive change in both her party and French society, which only gave women the vote in 1944; and notes that if she wins the presidency she will be the first female ruler of France since Catherine de Medici.
This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
