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

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.
