The report found many women are willing to see higher taxes, for example, to fund education, health, pensions and environmental protection, despite Labour and Tory opposition to raising taxes.On education, while Conservatives emphasise choice and diversity, very few of the women who responded to the survey used the phrase “more choice”.They want quality education for all and would like gender and parenting issues included in the national curriculum, as a way to increase sexual equality.In health, many are concerned about the National Health Service and want better healthcare for women. Yet the Tories make only two references to women’s health in their campaign guide, and Labour highlights them in its strategy for women but not in its draft manifesto. The Liberal Democrats have a range of policies in a policy paper but not in their election briefing.On employment, the issue is not so much being in or out of work, but equal pay, childcare, low wages, flexible hours and maternity rights.While the family has become a subject of great political posturing, women have a “back to basics” idea of their own – widening the responsibility. They want a “more balanced approach to family life” with not only their partners but employers and the community sharing the burden “They want employers and the government to take action. They are angry that childcare in the UK is considered a private rather than a social concern.”The report concludes: “At the moment, we have a situation of political double-think. All the parties propose strategies for women and propose machinery to represent women… Yet on central platforms, women disappear and so do their issues.”The failure to recognise the difference between issues that specifically affect women and women’s perspectives on all issues is at the root of the parties’ difficulty in addressing women’s concerns, it says.The findings come as women are becoming increasingly prominent in alternative political campaigns, such as the anti-roads protester known as Animal and Ann Pearston of the Dunblane Snowdrop anti-gun campaign.The research, carried out by Charlotte Adcock, a former journalist now writing her PhD on how women are represented in the news, follows previous findings by MORI for the Fawcett Society which showed a clear gender gap in voting patterns.An NOP survey last month reported that seven out of 10 women do not feel the political parties pay enough attention to the things that matter to them.The Women’s Communication Centre, a voluntary organisation that promotes female perspectives in public debate, is sending copies of the 80-page briefing to every MP and candidates in marginal seats.

Sue Tibballs said they would use the research to influence the parties’ approach to women voters.The report expands on Values and Visions, published by the centre last summer, in which women listed what they wanted on everything from politics and the economy to good sex.n ‘What Women Want on Politics’, available from the Women’s Communication Centre, 3 Albion Place, London W6 OLT, pounds 7.50.Election 1997: pages 21-24. One in three women – up to seven million voters – are undecided about who to vote for in the general election, according to a report to be published tomorrow, writes Stephen Castle. According to the report, based on a MORI poll for the Fawcett Society, the proportion of floating women voters has increased in the past year. Thirty-one per cent of women, as opposed to 25 per cent of men, have yet to decide how to vote on 1 May.
The findings will urge both parties to woo female voters. But Labour especially has given priority to women’s issues because it believes its appeal for older women is weak.

The report, It’s not like picking a football team: Women floating voters at the 1997 general election, is based on research in key marginal constituencies. It concludes that women floating voters are more thoughtful than others about economic and social issues. It notes a high degree of alienation from the political system; undecided women, it says, are often put off by politicians’ behaviour,.The report finds that women with children under five are more likely than childless women, or those with older children, to be floating voters. Thirty-four per cent of the women with children under five are undecided. Full-time workers are also less likely to have made up their minds yet.Shelagh Diplock, director of the Fawcett Society, said that the women who had not yet made their election choice were those”deeply concerned about the impact their vote could have on their lives and communities”.. As this election begins, the voters are behaving like tourists in a red-light quarter. There in the windows, garishly lit in pink or blue, sit the candidates.

There in the darkness outside are we, sniggering at their charms and blemishes We think they can’t see us But as a matter of fact, they can We are watching them watching us. And what do the candidates make of those who will choose or reject them? It’s a question nobody asks. The convention is that we, the electorate, do the inspecting and do it in the most superior, condescending manner imaginable. The media encourage us to sneer at the eagerness of the politicians to seduce us, and foster the prejudice that the parties and their leaders are a pretty sad crew dolled up to impress and deceive. We are supposed to think that none of them is really worthy of us – the great British public But put the question round the other way. Are we worthy of them?
It is one thing to sense and enjoy the power of the voters to choose who shall govern. Even though that power is slightly illusory, under our weird electoral system and the tradition of Cabinet absolutism, that is a democratic feeling.

But it is quite another thing to approach politics with the sort of noisy, generalised contempt for politicians which is so apparent in 1997. That, in the end, is an undemocratic feeling.To meet party leaders, in my experience, is to be surprised by their quality. None of the three main leaders – five counting Alex Salmond and Dafydd Wigley – is Mandela, Gladstone or de Gaulle. But they are all likeable; they are intelligent, anxious to do good for their fellow humans, not excessively vain, not corrupt or cruel They vary, admittedly, in strength of character And it’s a pity they are all male.
