The NDP wants to implement a mixed proportional system
The NDP will use its time in the House of Commons Wednesday to turn the
government’s attention to the need to implement a mixed proportional electoral
system, in order to ensure that 2015 will be the last in the era of unfair
elections.
“If the Conservatives and Liberals truly believe in democracy, they will vote
with us. The current system in which a party can govern without a majority of
votes has gone on long enough. We need to make every vote count,” said NDP
Democratic Reform critic Craig Scott (Toronto – Danforth).
Last week, Murray Rankin (Victoria) and Randall Garrison (Esquimalt – Juan de
Fuca) joined Scott as he presented the NDP’s plan to implement a mixed
proportional electoral system by 2019 and ensure that 2015 will be the last
unfair election. The motion tabled today aims to better reflect the diversity
and political preferences of all Canadians, by adopting a system of
proportional representation.
The motion reads as follows:
That, in the opinion of the House: (a) the next federal election should be the
last conducted under the current first-past-the-post electoral system which has
repeatedly delivered a majority of seats to parties supported by a minority of
voters, or under any other winner-take-all electoral system; and (b) a form of
mixed-member proportional representation would be the best electoral system for
Canada.
