You are entitled to have different priorities than I do, and reach a different conclusion, but blatantly racist and sexist policy kills that party for me, especially when I'm in the targeted group. Call it a hot button.

Of course, it's actually the broader toxicity of identity politics. When your race and sex and sexuality begin to matter more than your credentials, experience, talent and skills, we're talking a much larger concern for voters, aren't we? Any party that would write this kind of internal policy wouldn't think twice about preferentially writing targeted legislation to benefit specific demographics, to hire while in government in similar discriminatory fashion, or to enforce provincial policy in a similarly discriminatory fashion.

This specific policy is just the dot of black on the drywall that hints at a much larger mold issue behind those walls, IMO.
