Electoral reform may be coming - a little anyway

Elections Canada is discussing re-jigging the way the next federal election will be held, according to news sources.


It may be held on the week-end, instead of Monday, and may be held over the course of two days, instead of the one-day intensive form it has now.


These changes seem fine, but are nowhere the changes that need to be made if we are to avoid:

wrong-winner elections

false-majority governments AKA artificial majority governments, and

the waste of most of the votes in many of the districts.


These all happen under FPTP, and do not happen under STV or other pro-rep system.


Thanks for reading.
