The leftist think-tank organisation Żminijietna has taken a stand against the proposal to increase the number of MPs but said it fully agreed in principle with the proposal to increase the number of female representation in parliament. 

Żminijietna said on Monday that out of 65 MPs, 55 should still be elected under the current system, the only difference being that the number of districts would be reduced from 13 to 11 districts.

"The remaining seats would be distributed proportionally according to the number of votes the parties got, with the aim to reduce gender imbalance,” it said in a statement.
