So far, this is an election for blokes. Labour used to put a woman on every platform. 2001 Blokes, she said, it's all blokes, glancing up at the election report on the TV screen in the pub.
Women are more dissatisfied than men with the government.
Although younger women are more pro-Labour than young men, they are less likely to vote at all. Still 15 days to go, Labour still invincible and the campaign has reached that moment of ennui when it vanishes into a small dusty whirlwind of the Westminster lobby. This is indeed bloke's stuff again, for insider politicos only. This male aridity is the media's fault, the politicians protest. But that is only partly true.
