Of course, the Greens are list-only in their representation, so don’t have the complications of electorate MPs (who are predominantly male) to consider. Which is why Labour can’t rely on adopting a similar, pretty simple measure to ensure gender equality.
It's only a matter of time before that has to be taken into account ;-) (and I'm not a member of any party, before anyone asks)

May we compromise on “lesser”?
The lesser MPs are the ones in danger of demotion.
