Sent a letter to the Editor at the Times Colonist. When the Leg resumes this fall, all members of all parties should do the right thing and make the first Bill be to change our system of voting to Proportional Representation.

BC is in desperate need of Proportional Representation to provide some stability and sanity for voters and politicians alike.

Let people find their voice and let people represent them!

@dyckron
An example of a country with #ProportionalRepresentation having right-left swing, just like how it happens in Canada

The difference being that Canada and its provinces have unrepresentative false-majority govts

🚨 #RepresentationofthePeopleBill 👇#CapPoliticalDonations is paramount, as is #ProportionalRepresentation @10DowningStreet in a true #Democracy!

'Steal'? Maybe the Daily Fail could describe winning an election as stealing, but the New Statesman?

🚨Britain’s politics has changed, but our voting system hasn’t! 😤 I’m asking my MP to support an independent National Commission on Electoral Reform so we can build a voting system fit for modern #Britain. 🇬🇧 Join me here.👇

The voting system geek in me loved today's episode of #QuietRiot. The excellent #MakeVotesMatter has just launched a new report. The conversation has moved on; we're no longer talking about whether we should have reform, we're talking about what sort of electoral system we should use.

I have worked with Brits for years and years and even if there are different views, compromises are made, solutions found and subsequently we worked together to achieve the mutual goals. Proportional representation is there, except in politics!

Let's hope this actually happens, only then things may change in the UK: "Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister" | Andy Burnham | The Guardian

Good explainer about why the United Kingdom should probably drop their existing way of electing governments and switch to a fairer system; proportional representation.

It’s time for fair votes in English local govt

In #English local #elections, #voting system means #councils don’t reflect how people actually #voted

A small vote shift can completely change who is in control

Right now, millions of local #votes don’t help shape the final result

This leaves voters feeling powerless, because even when lots of people vote for change, final result can look nothing like the community itself
