The 300 Group- an all party campaign for women in parliament, politics and public life.
Do you think there is a place for a group like this nowadays? Should women in politics be on the agenda in electoral reform?
(Were you even aware it had folded? I wasn't... but I am hardly up-to-date on these matters)
Should we be supporting and promoting women's entry into politics? Is it necessary? Is it unfair?
Would greater numbers of female politicians lead to an increase in awareness of issues that affect women or improved legislation?
There isn't even a wiki page for the 300 group - which I find astonishing...
though I have found a few useful links on google:
Piece about the founding of the 300 group

The 300 Group- women in politics- still a hidden struggle?
