Description

Des Fahy interviews Conservative MP, Teresa Gorman with regard to a bill she will be introducing to end the male domination of Parliament. Gorman proposes to change constituency boundaries and voting procedures so that each larger constituency is represented by both a male and a female candidate. She hopes that in 3 or 4 parliaments’ time there will be an equal balance of both sexes in Parliament.
