Half of voters want women quota bill passed and only 14% opposed it: Even as the political class continues to be ambivalent towards the long-pending Women’s Reservation Bill, which would introduce 33 per cent reservation for women in Lok Sabha and State legislative assemblies, voters have sent out a clear message they are in favour of seeing the Bill passed this year. According to the CNN-IBN-The Hindu Election Tracker Survey, 50 p.c. of voters across 18 States want the next Parliament, to be elected in 2014, to have one-third women MPs. Strikingly, the support for reservation for women spans gender, regional, and State divisions. Only 14 p.c. opposed quota.
