People in France think the absence of female representation in politics is not due to lack of interest on their part, according to a poll by CSA published in Le Parisien.
51 per cent of respondents believe that the challenges of balancing public service and family life could explain why few women are in office, while 47 per cent blame misogyny from men who participate in politics. In addition, 30 per cent of respondents think there are few women in politics because the environment is too tough for them, while only 16 per cent think it is simply because women are not interested in pursuing political careers. More women than men think the difficulty of balancing public and private life is the reason for the lack of female representation in politics, while more men than women believe misogyny is a factor.
