Frances Scott and the 50:50 Parliament TeamLondon, ENG, United Kingdom

Dec 12, 2016
Frances, founder of #5050Parliament needs your vote right now see: http://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/democracy-awards-2016-789 . All of us at 50:50 Parliament are so chuffed that she has been nominated by #MakeVotesMatter for their "People's Democracy Award" for succeeding in signing up all the main political parties to agree that Parliament would benefit if it consisted of 50% men and 50% women: http://www.5050parliament.co.uk/women-and-equalities-committee-12-october-2016/.
As the founder of 50:50 Parliament she has been campaigning hard since November 2013 calling for solutions to the lack of women at Westminster, which she calls a "democratic disgrace". Frances wants men and women to run the country and plan the future together in similar numbers. She wants Parliament to draw upon the widest possible pool of talent and experience, including the 32 million women who are the diverse majority of the UK population.
See the 50:50 Parliament's written submission to recent inquiry to Women in the House of Commons, which outlines the many solutions and why this issue is of such key importance:

"This is a non-partisan issue, concerning the quality of governance and nature of democracy."
