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

This is a LIST seat, the party has absolute control of it, it's for an existing Labor seat, no one voted for her, it's absolutely for the optics.

They have no control over the list once the election is done. It’s not like they got to handpick her to replace this retiring MP two years down the line.
