What???? My vote would finally count this time with MMP?


Why support change?
The traditional problems with our system are,
1) People are lazy about exercising their voting rights.
2)People are lazier about becoming 'knowledgeable' voters.
3) In the current system, your vote only counts if you pick the winner and the winner may not even have received the majority of votes. First past the post is a lazy system perpetuating more laziness and voter ennui. I gots the voter jejune blues again is the story of Q's voting history.
Mixed member proportional voting, (having the usual 1 vote locally and a second vote as to which party you support) will correct these issues, and if not are there any other great ideas being suggested? .............................ah no?
Knowing your vote will count should encourage higher voter turnout.
Knowing your vote counts may encourage people to educate themselves about the parties and issues.
The current system in Ontario keeps turning out the same shitty governments who lie, don't keep promises and( as the lovely Sheryl Crow notes) a change will do you good.
