Where no woman has gone before

Jon Bright (London, OK): This interesting chart from the ERS is worth drawing attention to (click on the image to be redirected to the full chart, in pdf form). It shows a few statistics on women in politics, the most telling being the constituencies in blue are ones that have never been represented by a female MP - as well as how little progress there was towards this before 1997. The graph especially proves for me that unless Cameron adopts a serious positive discrimination policy - like all women shortlists - this map is unlikely to change colour significantly at the next election.
