Swedish companies will face penalties if they fail to have a 40 percent female representation on their boards of directors, according to a new legislative proposal put forward by the government.
If agreed to by parliament, the law will come into force next year. From 2019 firms will be fined between 250,000 kronor and five million kronor ($29,400-$590,000) if fewer than 40 percent of their board directors are women. The rules will apply to 280 listed firms and around 50 state-owned companies.
“You can’t keep talking about this year on year without actually delivering,” said Enterprise and Innovation Minister Mikael Damberg of the ruling Social Democrat-Green coalition on Friday.

Sweden goes from “democratic socialism” to outright authoritarian rule.
So much for the European model of “socialism” that the Democrat’s Progressive Caucus promotes openly instead of the Soviet and Cuban style Marxism they secretly desire.
Huge oppotunities for trannies.
Several orders below the islamic filth they are allowing to infiltrate themselves.
It was always heading in that direction anyway. Fabianism is slowed-down Marxism; that’s why the symbol of the Fabian Society is a turtle.
And of course, the original name of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia.
If they were hot, sure. If not, tell them to kiss my obama
They won’t stop there.
Next: mooselimb quota including the full trash-bag attire.
Ironically, I believe Trump’s organizations would pass their new rules. Not because he prefers women, but because he picks the most qualified people, and many of them happened to be women...
“Huge oppotunities for trannies.”
THAT would be hilarious if they did that. And there’s absolutely no reason for women to feel sidelined or passed up because of such a decision because men are women, too!
time for some swedish corp execs to ‘self identify’ as female
And real women versus “transgender”.
Personally, I’m a classy green eyed blonde.
Aw who am I kidding. No one would fall for that.
Perhaps the existing board members can “self-identify” as my wife, Morgan Fairchild.
The Left would....they’d call you courageous.
that’s sexist.
To say the boards will run better because people with breasts and vaginas will inherently make things better and therefore automatically are the best people for those positions?

So five dudes own a Hooters-type bar. Each is a director.
One of them has to start wearing a waitress outfit.
Actually, two of them need to. Math is hard.
“Sweden goes from “democratic socialism” to outright authoritarian rule.”
This is outright, naked fascism. One of the primary tenets of fascism is government control of private property.
These are the people Obama wants to give control of the Internet.
