Interesting how Canada seems to be moving in lock step with us in the UK on this issue. Our left wing party is also showing increasing support for PR.
The Liberals are centre-right, especially in Nova Scotia. It's really interesting to see then pitch this, even if the odds of them following through are very low.
Our centre-left party was in power a decade ago or so, and PR is a corr party position. They didn't make a single move toward it during their term in office, and haven't come close to making government since.
I’m praying that make votes matter succeeds in getting the necessary electoral reform!
