“Improving Canadian Democracy Through Electoral Reform: A Proposal”

Stéphane Dion's proposal for electoral reform has a bit of everything for everyone. It combines proportional representation (while at the same time preserving our right to vote for a person, and not just a party) with preferential voting. This is well worth a look.
"With P3, we would get a voting system that enhances the presence of our political parties Canada-wide, reinforces the degree of cooperation that should exist between parties, makes every vote count and ensures that seats are truly at play across Canada. P3 voting would be a customized voting system for Canada, a set of ground rules that fit the characteristics and need for cohesion of our vast, decentralized, pluralistic and diverse country."
