quotas are only a good idea for disadvantaged kids in schools and colleges. are women disadvantaged?

I think it is a lousy idea and just because I've got a penis.

our democracy will remain unfinished, Ms Bacik said.

has any country actually implemented such a quota?

 

[ann post]

it could be a good idea.

I don't know, I'd like to hear submissions from all sides.
I agree that it's a bad situation when we only elect 20-odd female TDs but I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with quotas.

On a lighter note, where does this leave the Ban Women From Politics party?

I'm pretty sure Sweden has and possibly some other Scandinavian countries. Sweden have their shit together and make nice cars, we should give it a go.
