Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: There should be more female MPs sitting in the House of Commons.

Because: 51% of the British population are female, yet only 19.5% of MPs are female. This is highly unrepresentative of the country we live in. Social attitudes are changing with regards to a woman's place in society, therefore it is time that political parties kept up with the times.

Men and women should be treated equally in the selection process instead of favour given to female candidates though.
