@sboots I'm opposed to many types of #ElectoralReform, but I do think that #RankedVoting could improve things a bit on the margin. I hope the Yukon tries this out.
Are Yukoners generally dissatisfied with the current electoral system, or is this essentially a top-down project? Has there been any polling on the question? I see that the plebiscite is non-binding: have the parties expressed any intention of what they will do if more Yukoners support this reform than oppose it?

As premier, he transferred many powers from the federal government to the territory.
He died in 2014. -
