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

Isn't there a quota system at the party level? At least for the NZ Labour Party?

I don't think u/Lordsevolox meant parliamentary gender quotas which would be insane.

The parties in the U.K. make all female short lists, basically saying only women can run in certain constituencies. Discriminatory, really. Pretty sure they also have all minority ones as well in Labour U.K.

There is, but they were three percent behind their quota before they even enacted it.

Identity politics is kinda their thing though.
