Quota restriction
There is no more public a board than parliament, yet there appears to be no suggestion that selection of candidates for election to parliament be governed by quotas on gender, colour, creed nor sexual orientation which, if introduced, would produce some spectacular changes in the make-up of Scottish politics at local and national level, most obviously at Holyrood.
Equality, by definition, must apply to all, including and particularly those most involved in legislation.
