Again, my approach is a bottom-up approach. It is society empowering women to take that step, rather than having parties saying they will have more women on their slate. The top-down approach has to be met by a bottom-up approach to actually empower women—not just empower them, but actually make them want to run, not because the party calls them and says, “We'd really like you to, and there's nobody else and please run”, but because they feel this is the right thing to do and they should be enabled to serve when they want to. I think those two approaches have to meet.
