Weekly Survey: Education funding, women’s campaign, and the General Election

have your say ll (long)

 

Last week, Labour launched a campaign to appeal to women voters, called ‘Woman to Woman’, which Maya Goodfellow covered here. While the campaign aimed to focus at issues such as tackling domestic violence and trying to ensure equal gender pay, the launch was overshadowed by discussion over the pink bus.

But do you think the campaign is a good idea?

On Thursday, Ed Miliband pledged that a Labour Government would increase education funding in real terms. Again, however, this was overshadowed by other events: in this case, Miliband’s row with Tory donor Lord Fink over tax avoidance.

Do you think this was a successful policy announcement?

The last month has seen talk of a “Green surge”, a dip in UKIP support, and Labour maintain a slight lead over the Conservatives.

But what do you think will be the outcome of the election? Will Labour be the largest party in a hung parliament? Or will the Tories manage a victory?

Our weekly survey will be open until noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
