Democratic Reform in the News

Electoral reform continues to make the news across Canada and around the world. Here is a sample of what is being said:


Did you know?
 

Most governments in Canada are false majorities.

The last two federal majority governments had 39% voter support. A few voters in a few swing ridings are the ones who matter in an election, and the parties know it.

We get the occasional minority government, but when we do, the parties usually can’t wait to try for all the power again with a little more than a third of the vote.

If we want a Parliament that really represents us, and a different kind of politics, it starts with making every vote count.
