Last year, the Liberal government of Canada promised to form an Electoral Reform Commission, to decide how to alter the voting system. Under consideration are different types of proportional representation, and ranked choice voting.
Ironically, the various parties in Parliament are at odds over how many representatives each party should have on the Commission. The government proposes a 12-member committee, with 6 Liberals, 3 Conservatives, and one member each from the Bloc Quebecois, New Democratic, and Green Parties.
The New Democratic Party favors an eleven-member committee with 4 Liberals, 3 Conservatives, 2 New Democrats, and one each from the Bloc Quebecois and Green Parties. See this story.
BASIC P.R. (since the Stone Age) —
Party Members = Total Members (in the legislative body) x Party Votes / Total Votes.
Too difficult for the robot party hacks on ANY reform commission ???
The Canada HACKS can NOT have a larger commission to represent ALL of the larger parties ???
Sounds like the NDP has the most reasonable approach.
This commission shouldn’t even be made up of partisans. It should be made up of mathemeticians.
