For International Women's Day - MPs' Tertiary Education by Gender

Women MPs and the University Route to the Commons

MPs' Secondary Education by Gender

Have comprehensive schools worked for women?

MPs' Social Class by Gender

What are the opportunities for working class women to enter parliament?

Gender Issues

In March I intend to look closely at how gender issues relate directly to the other criteria in my surveys; I shall once again use pie charts and will refrain from commenting on what they show.

This research may give glimpses of the paths that women have taken to reach the Commons; I would also like to research the effect of the Conservative 'A List' and the all-women shorts lists for the Labour Party.

I hope the research proves of value to those who manage to see it.

Is council service a grounding for prospective MPs?








Does serving as a councillor allow MPs to have a better idea of how national policies will affect local services?

MPs by Tertiary Education

How many British MPs paid for their University education?







Of the MPs that provide information 87.5% completed University degrees, 12.5% did not.
