So if you're worried that Proportional Representation takes power away from voters, remember this: it can actually give you more control, not less.

The top names on the list get elected based on the party’s share of the vote.

Why It’s Different From Ranked Ballots (AV/IRV)
Ranked Ballot/IRV elects just one person, so it’s still a winner-takes-all system.
STV elects multiple people, so it delivers proportional representation.

⚠️ Cons of STV
More complex counting process
Larger ridings with multiple MPs (which is unfamiliar in Canada)
Harder to understand at first glance
Takes longer to count and report results

This continues until all seats are filled, ensuring as many voters as possible help elect someone.
✅ Pros of STV
Highly proportional results
Voter choice is maximized
Fewer wasted votes - more of your preferences matter
Encourages collaboration, not polarization

Here’s what happens:
- If your first-choice candidate has enough votes to win, they’re elected.
- If they have more votes than they need, the extra votes are transferred to voters’ next preferences.
- If your candidate is eliminated, your vote moves to your next-ranked choice.

How It Works
Instead of just picking one candidate, you rank them in order of preference (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
Each riding elects multiple MPs, not just one.

⚠️ Cons of MMP
Slightly larger Parliament - to add balance seats
Some MPs are chosen from party lists, not directly elected
Can lead to coalition governments, which require compromise
Requires public education - it’s new to most Canadians

✅ Pros of MMP
Every vote counts - even if your local candidate loses
More proportional results - no more “majorities” with just 39%
Keeps your local MP - no need to give up local representation
Reduces strategic voting - vote with your heart and your head

How It Works:
You get two votes:
1) One for a local representative (just like now)
2) One for a political party
✔️ Local MPs are elected the same way we’re used to
✔️ Then, extra seats are added to ensure that each party’s share of the vote matches their share of the seats.

We have another chance, maybe the last one for a while, to demand a system that reflects how people actually vote, not just who happens to win first-past-the-post.
Let’s not leave it to chance.

No more strategic voting.
No more wasted ballots.
No more governments with fake majorities that ignore most of the country.
This isn’t some fringe idea.
Most modern democracies already use some form of proportional voting.
