Quotas? So if for some reason this 49% of candidates is severely lacking the necessary skills and qualities to be effective leaders, the country is just shit out of luck?
I think we've all seen that quotas are bullshit feelgood actions endorsed by the left. I can't believe that there is actually a requirement that x percent of something has to have ovaries instead of testicles.
