  1. I am a sustaining member of Fair Vote Canada ($20/month), because I support proportional representation (hybrid versions of it, such as open list MMP or STV). But, their claim of "strong support" for PR is questionable. A recent poll they commissioned leaves out the term "proportional representation" from the main question, opting instead to phrase it as: if they get 40℅ of the vote, they should get approximately 40℅ of the seats, right?

    If you can't even utter the phrase "proportional representation", then support isn't actually there.

    That said, the subsequent questions of whether the opposition parties should come together on an agreement, before the next election, to implement a "more proportional electoral system", is promising.

    I'll be shocked if the OLP goes for that though. After shafting Nate Erskine Smith, they seem determined to follow the path of the federal Liberals and become a clone of the conservative party.
