I've not actually been reading the thread until now...whoops!
It's like any other 'positive discrimination' idea, I don't think it's healthy. We had it a few years ago that 50% of police officers should be black, but 50% of the population aren't black so how does that represent the public? Shouldn't it be more about the best people for the job rather than slavishly satisfying statistics?
Firmly in the 'disagree' camp but Labour members in Hyndburn are allowed to have opinions of their own, unlike certain other parties who get whipped into line over every decision.
Even going to the toilet during party meetings.
