Are you saying your political system has fixed gender quotas? Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying about m-f-m-f?

Nah, our system hasn't. Parties have, our conservatives have a list for parliamentary seats arranged in that matter. Since only a few women feel drawn to a party that has quite conservative ideas, the pool of women is quite small though. So these quotas ensure incompetence to take a shortcut on the career ladder, at lesat I think that's the explanation for stuff. For years we had especially lousy female ministers from that party that I'd guess just got the job so no one could say gentlemen's club or misogyny. This will probably go on, hence my frustrated remarks.

That's no remark against equality or women's equal capabilities in politics or wherever. To solve discrinatory issues with deeply discriminatory means like a quota seems a bit illogical to me. But they say I'm wrong, they also say it's important that many women are in government because of women issues. Like "kids and family", always named a total women issue by our conservatives. Where I can only think, just be consistent then and claim a woman is first and foremost a mother or some BS like that and don't try to trick us with those m-f-m-f lists, so women feel great about that and vote for you. Really shows how much they actually think of them.

I deeply dislike our conservatives. :) so I might be a tiny bit unfair here. But boy charm be damned.
