Telegraph [UK]: MEP Sharon Bowles: I should be the first female Governor of the Bank of England (09 Oct 2012)
The MEP, one of Britain's most senior politicians in Brussels, said that if her application to be Governor were accepted, it would be a "strong signal of change" that the City needs.

...

She said that compared to the other applicants, that include Paul Tucker, deputy Governor of the Bank, Lord Turner, chairman of the FSA, and economist John Vickers, "just about everything about me is different. I'm an independent. I'm not from the Bank or the City of the Financial Services Authority.

...

Ms Bowles, who said she applied for the job the day before the deadline on October 7, added: "We need a strong signal of change - change that flows through the City. The new Governor has is to restore faith in the banking system. What bigger sign of change is there than choosing a woman and an outsider?"
