How does Parliament Represent You?

Hackney South MP, Meg Hillier, invited me to a meeting women MPs held in the House of Commons last week to look at the parliamentary record of gender representation across all parties.

How representative are your MPs? Well, if you look at the Labour Party's record, representation is going in the right direction. Women now make up 27% for all Labour MPs.

There are currently 97 Labour women MPs out of 354 Labour MPs. The aim is to increase that number to try to get at least 40% of women in Parliament by the next General Election.
