Elke Ferner , Federal Chairwoman of the „Association of Social Democratic Women“ and éminence grise in the Ministry for Women's Affairs, calls for the abolition of democracy: She wants a women’s quota in the electoral law. Countless politicians and lobby groups agree and call for a change in order to bring more women into the parliaments. The German Women's Circle wants a women's quota of 50 percent for members of parliament. The red-red-green government (Social Democrats, Left Party, Green Party) of Thuringia also wants to push through a women’s quota in the parliaments. And the women in Angela Merkel's Women's Union reveal an interesting understanding of voluntariness : "Anyone who does not voluntarily have more women in committees provokes us to make further regulations.“
