Once ranking 33rd in global league table of female representation, Britain has dropped to 62nd position by 2010 and continued to drop to a dramatic 65th position. This is no surprise, women are under-represented at all levels of politics from the Cabinet to town hall.
Britain is now lagging behind Equatorial Guinea, Madagascar and Kyrgyzstan in its efforts to increase the number of women in politics. http://tinyurl.com/l5wfsjz
