Quotas have been introduced most easily in ______________ legislatures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quotas are most easily introduced in proportional-based legislatures because they are designed to ensure that the number of seats a party receives in the legislature corresponds to the percentage of votes it receives in an election. This makes it easier to implement quotas for underrepresented groups because seats can be allocated to those candidates based on their proportion of the vote. In single member district systems, quotas could potentially lead to the exclusion of certain groups if they are not represented in a particular district, and in multimember systems, there may be challenges in ensuring fair representation across multiple districts.
