James, Jonathan, I need that the quoted-in people are quoted-in in such a way, that the proportionality of the election is not significantly disturbed.
I think Rosenthiel's approach has the following insufficiencies: If I elect five women, and then increase the number of elected seats until two more men have been elected, then we might end up with a situation, where a] one coalition of voters get all the seats (the easiest example is when we elect two ordered seats, one man and one woman) - i.e. the resulting list is not a proportionaly ordered list b] one coalition of voters get all the qouted-in men - i.e. the resulting list has no proportionality between gender.
