Should Politics Have An Equal Gender Split?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

As Andy Burnham prepares for Labour leadership, addressing internal gender dynamics has become a top priority. Female Labour MPs have criticized a persistent boys' club culture within the party and called for the next PM to commit to a 50/ 50 gender split. Speaking to the women’s parliamentary Labour party, Burnham promised to stamp out this behaviour, pledging that anyone caught undermining female colleagues would be immediately sacked. Do you think politics should have an equal gender split? Petrie gets your responses after speaking to Political Correspondent at The Sunday Times in Scotland, John Boothman. Hosted on Acast.
