The picture above was taken at the first anniversary celebration of Women2Win. Pictured from left to right are Tory candidates Jane Ellison, Deborah Dunleavy, Pauline Latham, Priti Patel, David Cameron, Andrea Leadsom, Joanne Cash, Louise Bagshawe, Harriett Baldwin and Lorraine Fulbrook.
The latest update of ConservativeHome's rolling record of selected candidates gives W2W more to celebrate. The proportion of women selected overall (since CH's previous update) has risen from 35.1% to 38.1%. Of the last 22 selections 45.6% have been women. 39.0% of all selections since the introduction of the A-list have been women and women appear to be faring particularly well in the more marginal seats. Male A-listers are doing surprisingly badly because the proportion of non-A-listers winning selection is also up. 46.8% of all selected candidates are not on the A-list (although some may not have been correctly identified as A-list members because of continuing CCHQ secrecy).
