"Ms Pietikäinen’s report is really edifying. It is primarily based around the imposition of quotas of women, at all levels of decision making, and measures to compel positive discrimination. It is as if women can only see their merits recognised through sexist measures of this kind.
I will watch the votes of my French socialist fellow Members with amusement. A few years ago, their party was not gentle with their official (female) candidate for the presidential election. To move from there to believing that the designation of Mr Hollande rather than Ms Aubry is part of a chauvinist plot, is a step that I hesitate to take … I will also look at the votes of my fellow Members in the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) to see if they match their attitudes and reactions to the fate of certain female elected representatives in Paris, for instance, who have been asked rather discourteously to give way in favour of male colleagues who have been parachuted in.
In my area, in the Rhône, out of 14 constituencies, 12 are held by men. I remember the way in which Mrs Thatcher was treated here when she was prime minister of her country. Granted, she had attributes that many current politicians do not possess, and which must make them jealous of her. In short, I voted against this report."@en1
