Ask for her to stand

Today, we celebrate the 104th anniversary of the Qualification of Women Act, which allowed women to become MPs for the first time.

Since this act, 5000 MPs have been elected to the green benches, but fewer than 600 have been women.

We need more women in politics, so if you know of a woman who would make a great MP, a terrific councillor or a brilliant Police and Crime Commissioner – please #AskHerToStand.

We must ensure women continue to take their place in public life.
