How is Parliament representative?

Parliament is representative as they started to focus on Britains racial and female diversity. There were over 100 women MPs elected for the first time in 1997, as Labour promised to add more women in its manifesto. This was a significant change to the way people saw parliament, as it was becoming more representative to every member of society, not just men. David Cameron attempted to improve Conservative representation with his A-list scheme. This was quite successful as there are now a record number of 21% of women MPs. Also, the Conservatives have addressed the fact that for 8 years, until 2005, had no nonwhite MPs. Furthermore, Parliament has become more representative with the introduction of backbench business committees and E-petitions. This means that the executive has less control over what is discussed in the House of Commons. This allows the people to have more of a say in what gets discussed. Most recently, an E-petition went through that revealed information about the Hillsborough disaster that hadnt been seen by the public before. The E-petitions are easily accessible by any member of the UK. Moreover, Prime Ministers Questions has opened opportunities for the public to actually see what the Prime Minister is like, and has exposed him a few times. Blair exposed Major as being weak, weak, weak and Camerons sneer at Blair, saying You were the future, once. Also, David Cameron is now viewed as possibly a misogynist by saying to a woman, Calm down, dear. This exposes the frailties of the Prime Ministers to the public, allowing them to have a clearer view of the Prime Minister.
