Canada seems to be headed toward a two party system. I think it's extremely important that we as Canadians push for electoral reform as quickly as possible.

Please do not go down the path of the US. It’s far easier for two parties to collude.

FPTP guarantees that out come so get hype. We are pretty much there now. We just need a few more cycles of left splitting before people get tired of that and then our transformation will be complete.

Most abc do voters support proportional representation at 79%. It's the elite politicians on the conservatives and liberals that are being the hold up, who haven't face enough political consequences for opposing electoral reform in the first place.

This is the way!

I would be so happy if we had some form of this here. And it would help us get rid of ABC style voting too, which is what tends to happen without it.

Absolutely the politicians serve us not the other way around.
