    EU politicians propose to dissolve any company with <40% female board members

    Gender quotas on company boards need concrete targets to be met and concrete consequences if missed | PES

    Personally I think this is taking things a bit far, but there should probably be some kind of financial penalty for companies without enough women in senior management. (my own ltdco excepted of course)

    They can propose what the hell they like but it won't happen.

            Who? The European Socialists? Don't be silly; some of them are misguided but in this case one stupid bint who's part of a large fraction in the European parliament made a silly suggestion that will never be implemented because most the other MEPs will simply laugh in her face and even if they don't then most national parliaments would refuse to implement this stupidity. Does nobody ever make a silly suggestion in national parliaments or town councils?

              All Socialists are determined to destroy, and look around they are doing a damn fine job of it.

              Remember what they say, "Socialism works great until you run out of other peoples money." And we have.

                All Socialists are determined to control. Socialism doesn't really work otherwise.

                I don't think they set out to destroy. Although that is sometimes the net effect of trying to control the wrong things.

                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    You do realise that the fact people still list women alongside minority groups is exactly the reason they want to introduce such rules?
