The increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP’s chance to win my riding substantially so I’m definitely grateful for that.

Carney seems like he’s open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

So was Trudeau. I hope you’re right, but it feels like a longshot.

Carney said big changes. If he wins the general election it’s definitely a mandate for big changes.

Only if it’s a majority government.
Carney isn’t going to go for MMP the same way the NDP isn’t going to go for ranked ballot.

It will be interesting for sure to see what kind of government emerges from the next general election. Could even be in 6 weeks from now.

The Liberals and Conservatives aren’t going to do election reform. First past the post is a massive benefit to both of them.

Not Canadian, no dog in this race, but also in a FPTP government so yeah, fingers crossed you guys girls and everything around it get a proportional system.

Thank you! Any system is better than FPTP. I’m hoping we go MMP as we then get the best of both worlds.

I doubt he’ll support PR. The Liberal Party benefits from FPTP more than any other party. They stand the most to lose from a PR system.

There’s no good reason for PR or nothing. RCV or even top 2 runoff (not as good as RCV, imo) can be legitimately preferred.

See: A Simple Guide to Electoral Systems. It’s still a work in progress, but lays out a good framework for discussing electoral systems.

We need to stop seeing PR as anything except citizen’s having the most to gain under PR.
