2010年是妇女在联合王国议会中更大描述性代表性的一个有利机会。各政党在这个问题上公开竞争;议会有自己的委员会在研究这个问题;每个政党的席位都有大量的候选人空缺，因为比往常更多的议员辞职。结果令人失望。女议员人数总体上有所增加-从128人增加到142人-但仅比2005年增加了2.5%。政党之间的分歧依然存在。自由民主党的女议员和女候选人的人数和百分比都有所下降;保守党的人数增加了一倍，妇女现在占其议会政党的16%;工党的女议员人数和百分比都最多。这些模式的最好解释是各政党对平等保障的不同态度-在所有其他条件相同的情况下，使女议员重返议会的措施。换句话说，工党的所有妇女候选名单再次交付。其他政党在将女候选人转化为议员方面的努力效率很低。展望未来，情况远非乐观。联盟党的政治改革计划可能会增加下次大选中的选拔竞争，这对妇女不利，而独立议会标准局的影响也增加了她们的供应也可能减少的可能性。
The year 2010 constituted a favourable opportunity for the greater descriptive representation of women in the UK Parliament. The parties were publicly competing over the issue; Parliament had its own Committee looking at it; and there were plenty of vacancies for candidates in each of the parties’ held seats, as many more MPs than usual stood down. The outcome was disappointing. There was an overall increase in the number of women MPs – up from 128 to 142 – but this was only a 2.5 per cent increase on 2005. Inter-party differences remain. The Liberal Democrats witnessed a decline in the number and percentage of their women MPs and candidates; the Tories saw a doubling of their number, with women now constituting 16 per cent of their parliamentary party; and Labour has both the largest number and percentage of women MPs. These patterns are best explained by the parties’ different attitudes towards equality guarantees – measures that, all other things being equal, return women MPs to Parliament. In other words, Labour's All Women Shortlists once again delivered. The other parties’ efforts were simply less efficient at translating women candidates into MPs. Looking to the future, the picture is far from rosy. The Coalition's plans for political reform will likely increase competition for selection at the next general election to women's detriment, and the impact of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority raises the possibility that their supply might decrease too.
