This is just the latest indication that our parliament will never enact electoral reform. Where do we go from here?
-
I'm going to try voting for a party that says they will end first past the post voting, if there are any. Except the party that already have made that promise and not delivered. Fool me twice and all that.

Why is this post 60% advertisements for the CBC?
-
That bill was worthless to start with. It had nothing to do with FPTP, and it never will if the LPC has anything to do with it. They have the most to lose from reforming that.
-
You mean even if the motion passed, there wouldn't have been a Citizen's Assembly?
-
The conservatives have the most to lose as the Liberals have the capacity to form an alliance with the NDP, the conservatives can only get in power if they can be elected with 40% of the vote or less.

The NDP should really make it a larger part of their platform.

And kudos to the Bloc, that definitely shows a tendency to follow what their voters want, even at their own loss.
The bloc is the party that's the closest to getting the number of seats that's proportional to the number of votes they get and they would probably gain from a proportional system.
