All Members of Parliament should be elected by direct and universal suffrage, including any quota seats for disadvantaged groups. Consideration should be given to amending the Constitution and the Parliamentary Elections Act with a view to reviewing the Special Interest Groups provided for. The current quotas for youth, workers and the military do not meet criteria of acceptable positive discrimination for disadvantaged groups since the groups concerned do not require particular assistance and in the case of the armed forces, special seats raise serious concerns of independence, accountability and conflict of interest. In addition, the implementation of Special Interest Group elections runs contrary to democratic standards in a number of respects. Seats currently reserved for persons with disabilities should, if maintained, be elected by universal suffrage.
