BOTH the Tories and Labour are being urged to improve their record on gender balance in 2023 as both parties failed to provide 50/50 gender balance for flagship BBC political programming.
In 2023, SNP appearances on the BBC’s Politics Scotland programme were 74% women. On Debate Night, the party presented a 50/50 gender split.
In contrast, the Tories only put up three women in the 26 times they were invited on to Politics Scotland and just four women across 22 appearances on Debate Night.
