Proportional Representation, Preferential Ballot or FPTP System

A number of options are on the table for the Liberals as they move to fulfil their promise of changing the way Canadians elect their MPs. But based on an analysis of October's federal election results, the system that is the party's preferred option would have delivered Justin Trudeau an even greater victory than he won a month ago.

 

The ministerial mandate letter sent to Maryam Monsef, Canada's minister of Democratic Institutions, laid out the tasks she will be expected to complete in her new role.

Among other things, she was directed to "bring forward a proposal to establish a special parliamentary committee to consult on electoral reform, including preferential ballots [and] proportional representation." The goal is to make good on Trudeau's pledge that the 2015 federal election would be the last decided via the first-past-the-post system.

Any preference or thoughts on that?

real satisfaction, that day is a loss.

None of the three to be studied.

 

Preferably a dictatorship - defined as a country, government, or the form of government in which absolute power is exercised by a dictator.

 

Prior should run!
