| Topic | Trudeau gave up on electoral reform in Canada. |
| darkknight109 07/02/17 5:47:49 PM #38: | synth_real posted... I like the idea of a hybrid of FPTP and PropRep. Give half the seats to PropRep so that way regional representation is still a thing in Parliament (which is why we have FPTP to begin with) because sometimes what's good for Ontario and Quebec isn't what's good for the Prairies and the Maritimes. 1) Regional representation can still be achieved in a PropRep system by using the Mixed Member or Single Transferable Vote variants (among others). 2) PropRep and FPTP are both tilted in central Canada's favour because of simple demographics and there's really no democratic way to fix that (unless you want to go with the Triple-E senate that Harper was trying to implement a few years back - even then, calling that "democratic" is a bit of a stretch). --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
