Fair Vote Canada just announced that a motion for a Citizen’s Assembly on electoral reform will be voted on in Parliament.
You have to scroll down a bit to see the announcement, which then contains links to details.
In summary, Fair Vote has worked with a few MPs to create and submit a motion to get their asses in gear on electoral reform. This will be voted on in Parliament, so pester your MP and anyone else who can help. And, obviously, spread the word.
I would love to see conservatives take an interest in electoral reform. It’s so often seen as a left issue because the NDP and Greens push for it, but the word “proportion representation” is as the name sounds. It treats all parties equally and has no bias to left or right.
As an Albertan if PR were to come here I could kiss the left ever winning goodbye because the NDP (centrist in Alberta) only has a chance when the right splits the vote. I’d still take it even if it meant my party wouldn’t win because it’s the fair thing to do.
