    Five Leaders Of Britain's Political Parties Join Televised Debate

    There is a lively discussion on going on on mumsnet about the hug the three female leaders shared at the end of yesterday’s debate.

    Parents are debating whether female party leaders should “manage a debate without group cuddling on stage”.

    Some argue that women don’t hug in “businessĀ meetings constantly” and that there is no evidence that women are “intrinsically more emotional than men”.

    Others say they have hugged colleagues before and have never known it to be an issue and that women are not “conditioned to hide their emotions in the same way men are”.
