It's important to send the public the message that we need an egalitarian Parliament that respects and favours political pluralism. That's how we will attract more women candidates who have a profile that is not well-represented at the moment.
A change to the voting system is an opportunity to do this, but it needs to be done right the first time. I stress that it's essential to combine a mixed compensatory proportional system, which is a good system, with the appropriate mechanisms. Changing the voting system alone will not be sufficient. Moreover, we know that it will not produce much in the way of results.
When we know a problem exists and do nothing to correct it, despite knowing that a method at our disposal could improve things, we are choosing to allow the problem to continue. I consider that very important, and it's why the documentation about the experience of various countries shows that if we choose not to change the voting system and not to take measures right away, we will be saying to ourselves, as a society, that it's a principle we hold, but one we've chosen not to act on. That would be very unfortunate.
Thank you very much.
