Many midcareer female politicians are quitting rather than run in next month’s British election

LONDON—As Britain embarks on a high-stakes national election campaign, an unusually high number of midcareer women are quitting politics, saying anger over Brexit and virulent online abuse are staining British political life.

Nineteen female lawmakers have so far said they won’t contest their seats in a nationwide ballot Dec. 12. Most are either retiring after years of public service or have decided to pursue new careers or gain more time with their families.

i see only Tories tricks

British Female Lawmakers scare of Boris the Trump cousin.....hahaha

Can’t hack it? Get out of the sand pit.

It would help if lawmakers would stop blocking Brexit and do what voters compelled them to do. Keep blocking the results of the election and of course people are going to revolt.

32% of those quitting are women. Percentage of women overall in the HOC? 32%.
