Tamworth Conservatives

 

Women make up 50% of the UK population.

But only 35% of MPs are women.

The Conservative Party has a proud tradition of backing female candidates. Every female Prime Minister has been a Conservative. Labour have yet to elect a female leader and are more than 40 years behind. So, as per usual, it's up to the Conservatives to lead the way.

If you are a woman and are interested, please read on or if you know a woman who would make a great candidate, please email her this link so she can view this page and get involved.

It is vitally important that we succeed in this aim so that we have a Parliament which reflects the people, with Conservatives in the vanguard.

We're running sessions in November, December 2022 and January 2023 especially for women who are interested in becoming candidates. It would be great to get you involved!
