Canadian democracy takes a giant leap forward:
A non-binding plebiscite on electoral reform in Prince Edward Island has shown voters support a switch to a form of proportional representation.Mixed member proportional representation was the most popular option, drawing more than half of the Votes after ballots were counted and redistributed five times according to the rules of preferential voting.Islanders were given five options to chose from, including an option to keep the current first-past-the-post system. Voters were asked to rank some or all of the options on a one-to-five scale.If no Electoral system received more than half the votes, the option with the fewest votes was eliminated and those ballots redistributed to their second-choice option.That process was repeated until one option passed the 50 per cent threshold to achieve majority support.
No let's have this happen in the other provinces and federally!
