What questions to ask your candidates

Whether at a one-to-one meeting, or at a hustings, asking political candidates about their policy stances and local knowledge is a critical way to understand their views, call for change, and hold whoever is elected to account.

  • Reforming childcare

  • Workplaces that work for women

  • Women’s political representation
