Hannah Stevens, our CEO, for Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) on when enough is, well enough? Turns out the answer to that is 51. "We have a long way to go to encourage women into candidacy, then into political office and to thrive once there. Systematic barriers to entry still exist – if anything that was made more evident in this ‘Big Change’ election – and it isn’t just at the national level; it is even more stark at the regional and local level too." https://lnkd.in/enp6Ajrb
