Reflecting The Population

MA State Rep. Alice Wolf says the legislature should reflect the population it represents. What exactly does that mean? Should elections be determined by quotas for fulfilling the population reflection? Who will decide who gets elected where? Or does she mean that each district should reflect the populations of the district? She does not say. In a district with only white heterosexual men would Wolf  allow a white heterosexual man to be elected?

Have women become a minority? Wolf says women are about fifty percent of the population. So what is the problem? Why won't women vote for women? Why won't women run for office? If they do not run should they be appointed to office by Rep. Wolf? And why do white people vote for black people? Why do men vote for women? These are disgusting abuses of identity politics. I mean if you are a self respecting man you
should vote for men, plain and simple. So what is going on here? How many men are traitors to their own interests?

The Cambridge City Legislature has three women for 33 percent of the legislature. But it also has two black men for 22 percent of the legislature. But black people are only about 12 percent of the population. They are over-represented. There are several homosexuals and they too are over-represented. It is unknown if there are still some closeted homosexuals on the City Council.

Now what about persons with disabilities, who make up about 15 percent of the population. How many of them are on the City Council or in the state legislature? Why do women vote for men? Should women who vote for men be fined or jailed as traitors? What about illegal aliens? Why are there no illegal aliens on the Council or the state legislature? And what about Muslims? How many Muslims are on the Council and in the
legislature?

Will Rep. Wolf be willing to chair a commission of appointing proper minority members to office without elections to save money and to ensure that they reflect the population? A new tax on sales of six-packs of beer and soda and single use illegal drugs would fund this essential commission.


[From article]
Wolf said she thinks the legislature should resemble the population
that it represents.
