French Legislative Election 2017

Out of the 428 REM candidates there are 214 men and 214 women.  This is so typical and smacks of quota politics that I deplore.  This by itself is enough for me not to want to back REM.  If having equal number of men and women are so important then why does Macron not demand that the presidency alternates between a man and a women.  Oh yeah, if they did that it would mean they will have to all vote for Le Pen in the just finished Prez election.

You're THAT afraid of women? Geez.

It appears so.  I am also against quotas on the basis of race nationality etc etc.  I guess I am afraid of anything that represents authority other than the White Man paradigm.   

How is this a quota? They didn't stop anyone from running.

For two, I am amused at the presumptious implication that there couldn't possibly have been an equal number of qualified women as men. Perhaps the quota even worked in favor of the men!

This.

Also, François Bayrou is furious, and has called a meeting with the heads of his party. The honeymoon is already over.

Lol Bayrou

Isn't Le Maire one of those, "I like to change things very slowly guys "

PS gets the beating it deserves for years of corruption at long last. The only downside is LR wasn't destroyed too.
