BRITAIN’S WOMEN VOTERS
At the British elections in December last, men voters in the majority of 2,605,599 over the women voters, the figures for England and Wales being 10,496,914 men and 7,890,315 women. Since then the MacDonald Government extended the female franchise, increasing the women’s vote by 4,500,000, thus giving it a majority of very nearly 1,900,000 over the men’s vote. If, in Scotland and Ireland, women voters were added to the register in the same proportion, the excess of women voters over men in the United Kingdom would be well over 2,000,000. In view of this it is the more surprising that women pandidates did so budly at -last week’s elections.
