Nor me! I don't need all women shortlists, gender preference or patronising... or by implication denigrating men!

IMO having a quota isn't proper equality. Equality means that if a woman can do the same job as a man just as well she should be considered on her merits. Being given a step up over a man is just plain patronising

The old adage comes to mind, cream will always rise to the top. Unfortunately quota systems, tick box exercises has caused a rapid decline in talent available too us. Parliament is a great example of this with the quality of MPs we have today.

Positive discrimination is contradictory to equality. Jobs should be given on merit.

Absolutely, but that’s the common sense view.

I have worked for women who got where they did because they were damned good at the job and not because they wear lipstick and have boobs.

Good candidates don't need quotas, just talent and a fair panel. Labour don't seem to be able to meet either of these criteria

If you are in a party that needs forced quotas to elect a woman/Muslim/Black/gay then you are in the wrong party - find one that trusts in merit
