Compulsory volunteerism: The face of hypocrisy

From the BBC (emphasis added):

Former minister Lord Davies of Abersoch will urge FTSE 350 companies to boost the number of women at the board table to 20% by 2013 and 25% by 2015. But he is expected to stop short of imposing quotas, unless the voluntary measures fail.

Run that by me again. You won't be compelled unless you don't do what the Inner Party tells you to do? I thought we were supposed be shot of this totalitarian mindset, but I must have been mistaken.

What''s the difference between Labour, Conservatives, and Liberal Democrats?  Nothing at all, gentlemen.  Nothing at all.
