Proportional Representation has proven to be the most important predictor of high numbers of women in parliament. Voters cast their votes by party, and in some cases also by individual. Seats in parliament are allotted in proportion to the votes each party receives. This kind of system provides an incentive for parties to broaden their appeal by adding women to their party lists. In cases where parties mandate the percentage of women to be included on lists-as in the rule of “every second seat a women”-the results are significant. More women are also elected in countries with systems that mix elements of the proportional representation and majoritarian systems within their legislatures. The 10 countries with the highest percentage of women in Parliament have systems that include Proportional Representation.
Not sure if this violates the “no politics” rule or not 🤷♀️
I do not see a no politics rule on the sidebar.
I think the rule came up in response to the survey results: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/24257664
I don’t see it in the sidebar either. Also, not sure your links count or not - I suspect the main thing people don’t want are stressful headlines related to the Trump administration, etc.? I’m sure @CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al can clarify though.
(I suspect this particular news article is permitted, it’s not a stressy political headline.)
Thanks Dandelion!
