Get involved in the General Election with Leading Women UK

Please join the Exeter network at the Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel as part of Leading Women UK's Political Special 2015.

The Mercure Exeter will kindly be providing complimentary canapés and a glass of fizz on arrival.

According to the Fawcett society:
- Men currently outnumber women 4 to 1 in Westminster.
- Currently 16% of Conservative 32% of Labour and 12% of Liberal Democrats MPs are women.
- Women constitute 32% of elected councillors, but just 12.3% of council leaders in England are women.
- There are disparities between women and men regarding their involvement and access to politics, and therefore public debate and decision-making.

The Leading Women UK 2015 Election Special aims to tackle these inequalities and ask political parties why they think these inequalities exist, and what their party aims to do to ensure equality for both men and women.

The format will follow a ‘Question Time’ style, with the audience being invited to participate. Leading Women UK is opening this event up to men and women.

The group will be joined by:
- Ben Bradshaw, a Labour candidate
- Dom Morris, a Conservative candidate
- Diana Moore, a Green Party candidate
