Hustings: Zoe Hollowood and Elaine Miller
2024 will be an election year. We will have local elections in many constituencies, Police and Crime Commissioner elections and almost certainly a general election.
Elaine Miller knows what’s involved and explains all to WRN’s Zoe in this conversation where you can hear about Elaine’s experience of running in a by-election as an independent candidate.
If you have thought about running as a candidate yourself, Zoe and Elaine discuss how to go about it and how to access a pack that Elaine has put together to help women who decide to stand in local or general elections.
Hustings are where political candidates meet us – the electorate – and we get to quiz those candidates about their plans and what they think about the issues that matter to us.
But someone has to organise them, and if there aren’t any hustings in your area, maybe that could be you.
Zoe and Elaine talk about how to run a hustings and how to ask killer questions at any hustings you attend.
There has never been a more important time for women to be politically involved, whether that's running as a candidate, supporting a candidate or holding their local candidates to account.
So let’s hear what Zoe and Elaine have to say. -

Customer Reviews
Informative Listen
I am a WRN member and attend local events but I’ve only just started listening to the podcast, so I’m catching up on the ones that interest me the most whilst waiting for the most recent.
Very informative and up to date on women’s news and issues.
That Was the Women’s Week That Was
Great little podcast from the UKs Women’s Rights Network. Weekly round ups of news & more from Terf Island.
Well worth a listen.
WRN
Womens Rights Network podcast is brilliant - informative, and with straightforward plain talking. So refreshing- thank you WRN!
