Friday, 20 January 2012 3:02 PM

Westminster's political parties are adopting very different approaches as they try to increase the number of female MPs in parliament.

Alex Stevenson Follow @alex__stevenson explores the controversies surrounding Labour's all-women shortlists and the Conservatives' more hands-off approach, at the end of a week which saw the Liberal Democrats unveil their fresh proposals for 2015.

This podcast features contributions from:

- Dame Anne Begg, Labour MP for Aberdeen South
- Amber Rudd, Conservative MP for Hastings and Rye
- Baroness Sal Brinton, Liberal Democrat peer
- Charlotte Vere, founder of the Women On thinktank
