It analyses the backgrounds and careers of Megan Lloyd George, Eirene White and Dorothy Rees, the first three women to be elected, arguing that two of them were aided into their positions by their exclusive social connections and family backgrounds.

Moreover, half of all Labour’s women MPs currently sitting in the House of Commons were selected on AWS, either in 1997 or 2005.

We cover (i) data collection, (ii) estimation, (iii) raw results, and (iv) validity checks. The resulting scales turn out to be highly valid, and provide an excellent guide to MPs' ideologies using data that is completely separate to the voting data that forms the bulk of the evidence in our paper. A1: Collection of Speech Data Speeches come from an original collection of every speech made about issues related to welfare in the House of Commons from 1987-2007, covering the period over which the Labour party moved 1 to the center under Tony Blair, adopted and enacted policies of welfare reform, and won office at the expense of the Conservatives. Restricting the speeches to a single issue area is useful for estimating ideologies because with multiple topics there is a danger of conflating genuine extremism (a tendency to speak in extreme ways) with a tendency or requirement to talk a lot about topics that are relatively extreme to begin with (Lauderdale and Herzog, 2016).

  • Resistance to All-Women Shortlists in South Wales Has a Complex Set of Causes Beyond Gender Politics, but That Doesn’T Make It Right
    democraticaudit.com http://www.democraticaudit.com/?p=6562 Resistance to all-women shortlists in South Wales has a complex set of causes beyond gender politics, but that doesn’t make it right By The Author The decision by the Labour Party to use an all-women shortlist to select its candidate to replace Ann Clywd MP in Cynon Valley has been opposed by local party members. Richard Berry finds echoes of a similar controversy in the Welsh valleys ahead of the 2005 election, where local voters defied the party’s wishes in favour of a male candidate. South Wales, where fierce rebellions against all-women shortlists have taken place. Credit: Alwyn Ladell, CC BY NC ND 2.0 The Constituency Labour Party (CLP) in Cynon Valley has declared its fierce opposition to the imposition of an all- women shortlist for its selection of a candidate to replace retiring local MP Ann Clwyd. While it is hard to know what ordinary members feel about the issue, let alone voters, local party officials are refusing to cooperate with the selection process. Labour has been here before. The party introduced the policy of all-women shortlists in 1993 to boost female representation in the House of Commons. Despite initial opposition from within the party and a legal challenge in 1996, there has been little disquiet about the policy in recent years. All-women shortlists have had a significant effect on the gender balance of Parliament, although women still comprise only one in five MPs. The most notorious instance of opposition to all-women shortlists came ahead of the 2005 general election also occurred South Wales, in the Blaenau Gwent constituency.
