Reply to comment by DomesticApe23 in Women will have equal share of seats in [New Zealand] Parliament with Soraya Peke-Mason's swearing-in by giblefog

You are right, I was so stupid for believing a forced gender split in a political position has nothing to do with quotas or justice. Thanks for opening my eyes man

I live in NZ, it's not forced. MPs are all made up of directly elected positions.

I'm sorry it's inconceivable to you that we vote for women sometimes, but that's a you problem.

No, MPs in NZ aren't all directly elected. The 72 electorate ones are, the list ones are selected by the parties and then we vote for parties not the MPs directly.
