Women and Political Reform
Thursday 15 July 2010
The new Lib-Con Government is proposing changes to our political system. What could this mean for women? Will AV, Party Lists, STV, Zipping, or any of the other “proportional” systems see more women in political life, or should we just stick to First Past the Post?
Learn more about these systems and have your say on this key issue.
Chaired by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market.
