Momentum leader Arnold Cassola has criticised Malta’s gender corrective mechanism, arguing that it unfairly excludes candidates from outside the Labour and Nationalist parties.In a social media post, Cassola pointed to ADPD Chairperson Sandra Gauci, noting that she was the 10th most-voted non-elected woman in the election with 513 first-count preferences.He argued that despite receiving more votes than several other non-elected female candidates, Gauci would miss out on a parliamentary seat while women with fewer first-count preferences could enter parliament through the gender corrective mechanism.Cassola claimed the system was designed to benefit the two major parties and described it as a mechanism that consolidates Malta’s political “duopoly”.“The gender corrective mechanism was not about gender equality but only meant to consolidate the duopoly,” he wrote.The Momentum leader also accused the Labour Party and Nationalist Party of creating electoral rules that primarily serve their own interests.What do you make of Cassola’s argument?•
