The Problem:
All female shortlists causing resentment in certain sections of the electorate and women being grossly under-represented in our political system

The Social Invention:
Why not have both a male and a female Member of Parliament for each constituency? This would get round the problem of having to have all female shortlists for candidates which causes a lot of resentment in certain sections of the electorate and gets around the problem of women being grossly under-represented in our political system.

sure they'd both have to be from the same party and agree on policies and the issues and the house of commons would have to be enlarged and more seats put in. Why not? it's fairer than the old fashioned way they do things now.....

A good idea. One proviso though. Reduce the number of constituences by half for practical as well as financial reasons.
