Is Labour losing the women's vote?







Whither Worcester Woman: Is Labour losing the women's vote?
When: Wednesday 7 March - 1800-1930
Where: Boothroyd Room, Portcullis House, Westminster

SPEAKER JUST CONFIRMED - Vera Baird MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs. Vera will be joined by: Julia Clarke, Head of Political Research at MORI; Meg Munn MP, Minister for Women; and Polly Toynbee, Guardian columnist. Lorna Fitzsimons, Patron of Progress, will chair the meeting.

This Progress event will debate whether Labour is losing its appeal to female voters because of the challenge from David Cameron or whether it can be explained by their disengagement from the political process as a whole. Which policies should Labour adopt to win back women's support and how can the party change as a whole to attract more involvement from women?
