A self-respecting nation would have the same percentage of women in our government as there are in the general population. Just as we spite ourselves by having a competitive -- where only one party has a voice at a time and good ideas are buried -- rather than a cooperative government, we continue the process of imbalance by not having enough women in government to make truly sensible coherent legislation. Too often legislation is passed that affects women without their input.
