Gave mps a convenient excuse. Had surprised men with their ability to do 'men's jobs'. They needed to reform the voting system anyway

David Lloyd George became PM. Conservatives didn't want under 30's voting Labour, so women over thirty voting would counteract all the men under 30 voting.

How did campaigning help to win the vote?
Kept the issue at the forefront of people's minds. Violent acts attracted too much attention. Afraid campaigning would restart once the war was over. NUWSS had a lot of support amongst MPs.
