Scotland: council election: Why are so few women standing?
26 April 2012 - Fewer than one in four candidates standing in the council elections in Scotland are women, academics have reported.
Meryl Kenny and Fiona Mackay from Edinburgh University published the findings and labelled local Scottish politics "male, pale and stale".
One in seven contests on 3 May will be male only.
The report's authors said the figures were "sobering".
