Reply to comment by Dirk_94 in Women will have equal share of seats in [New Zealand] Parliament with Soraya Peke-Mason's swearing-in by giblefog

That this was forced diversity rather than just having elected even numbers of men and women. There’s no quota or agenda, this is just individual parliamentary elections leading to a 50/50 ratio.

Well it is? Most likely as a woman you wont have the largest share of the votes yet still you get awarded a seat because you are on the womens voting list.
