Feminist have argued for a change in the political realm, concerning liberal democracy. There have been numerous cases for Proportional Representation in the government, to ensure women and minorities has a higher representation in a majority patriarchal institution (Crow, 107-108).

There has been a push to for the government to switch to a Proportional Representation by feminist lobbyists; however it must be noted that even if a women holds legislation, she can’t choose her own agenda or stance on an issue. Every member of a party must follow their parties set positions and if gender equality is not included in that agenda than having more women represented in government will make no difference (Crow, 107).
