MODERATORS
How do we pressure them? Write letters?
Yes, bring up electoral reform when you see your representatives, stage protests and inform others about proportional representation.
when you see your representatives
I don't frequently see them, and staging a protest sounds like a lot of work. Are there any bite-sized actions one could take?
You could donate to Fairvote Canada and share articles with others on the topic.
Thanks! That sounds more manageable.
Won't do anything. And even if we have a referendum I don't think it well pass. Look at how many times it has failed in BC.
Proportional representation rarely happens through referendums. Most countries got theirs through multiparty support.
