"Some say that this is done to promote equal access. A humble and modest connoisseur of electoral matters tells you: those who know it know that in colleges that have available a number of candidates ranging from two to seven, therefore rather small, the double gender preference damages the female sex, because normally the male is more unfaithful than the female, so alongside a male candidacy ... ". So the League Senator Roberto Calderoli speaking in the Senate Chamber during the general discussion on the bill for the double preference in Puglia.
"The male usually mates with four or five representatives of the fair sex, which the woman usually does not do - he says yet - The result is that the male carries the votes of four or five ladies and the ladies are not elected".
"Mr. President, I conclude with an appeal and then I keep silent.
If you increase the audience of the passive electorate, fragmenting the expression of preferences, you reduce the possibility of the woman being elected. Women put themselves on the list, as we did we in Umbria by electing a woman, just as we elected a president of the Chamber and a president of the Senate woman and in Tuscany we nominate - vivaddio - a woman ", he concludes.
