En av hovedpersonene i Kongshavn, Elise Ross, er stortingsrepresentant og aktuell som miljøvernminister. Hun er i kamp med partiledelsen, som hun kaller museumsbestyrere. De er bare ute etter makt. De tør ikke være tydelige.
En amerikansk undersøkelse viser at kvinnelige politikere er dyktigere til å ivareta sine velgere:
districts served by women legislators are at a distinct advantage over those represented by men: U.S. congresswomen bring home roughly 9 percent more discretionary spending than congressmen. As a result, districts that elect women to the House of Representatives receive, on average, about $49 million more each year. The report finds that bringing home more federal dollars and benefits doesn’t hurt women legislators’ performance in policy-making—congresswomen sponsor more bills and obtain more co-sponsorships for their legislation than their male colleagues do.
