So, Dave (or is it DC now, I’ve lost track) wants to make Parliament more representative.:

“Until we’re represented by men and women in the country, regardless of race or creed, we won’t be half the party we could be,” he said in a speech on candidate selection in Leeds.

He said his “positive action” plan was not about “crazed political correctness”, but would guarantee more women and ethnic minorities in winnable seats.

Of course he does. In order to do it, he’s going to take control from the centre and govern his pary by diktat. Hmm, hasn’t that been tried before?

There’s a simple way to get more women in Parliament Dave. It’ll get more minorities in there as well. And, added bonus here, it will give the voters real control over who they vote for and who represents them. What’s this Mat, I hear you say, what’s this simple system?
