There will be elections in May and campaigning can start 8 March. I thought it would be a good idea to have a series of threads so people can easily create a piece of paper to sit by the front door with issues to raise with each party.
The idea is to make it clear that women are prepared to make a fuss about these issues, and take their votes elsewhere.
Show each candidate what position their party has taken and how you would like that to change.
Research your local candidates if you can, and make it clear you will vote for the party (or candidate) that is clearest on women's issues.
So, my starter question for Labour:
Do you think all women shortlists are a good idea?
Do you think all women shortlists should contain men?
Why does Labour allow self-identified women on all women shortlists?
Link to Labour Party statement on the issue:
