Croatian women seize power from male politicians

Don’t blame me; it isn’t my headline: Women seize power from lazy men

Women in a Croatian village have seized power from their lazy menfolk in local elections.
After their success, the women of Lozisca on the island of Brac vowed “to let the men back into our beds, but never back into politics”.
They won all seven seats on the local council after deciding they were sick of seeing the village men doing nothing for the community.
Merica Bogdan, one of the seven women who was elected to serve on the local council, told local media: “The time has come for women to rule.
“We were not satisfied with the work the men did for the community and we launched a campaign to take political power and do something good for Lozisca.

Good for them; but damn are they harsh! And how do the men feel about the political coup?

Tonko Valerijev, whose wife Helena is the newly-elected head of the local council, said: “They are a lot more persistent in their work than their predecessors. Frankly, they’re doing a great job.”
