well, well, well...in the first week of the election campaign, around 70% of media coverage focussed on three men... Rishi Sunak, Keir Strarmer, and (yes you guessed it) Nigel Farage.
The most featured woman was Rachel Reeves at 5% across the media.
So firstly; rather male dominated - sure the first two are the party leaders but there are plenty of (reasonably) senior female politicians...
Secondly; Nigel Farage - again - I may not like Ed Davey, but where is he?
