I agree with you that AV (Ranked Ballot) is something to be considered in electing our riding MPs, attacking me for expressing my support for change and trying to clarify the various possibilities does nothing for the cause.Ruralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814103548500393628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-90609125501610444342014-06-23T16:50:31.846-04:002014-06-23T16:50:31.846-04:00Nothing biased about my blog.

They either support ranked ballot voting or PR. <br /><br />The choice should be theirs and put on a referendum ballot. If a citizens' assembly chooses some arbitrary form of PR for Canadians, Canadians will reject it as they did in ON, BC & PEI. Then PR is toast. <br /><br />So good luck on your efforts to destroy all hope of ever bringing PR to Canada! You think you know better than Canadians. Canadians will beg to differ. And they have the final word.Ron Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120060083437508997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-82403227031898477342014-06-23T06:35:23.615-04:002014-06-23T06:35:23.615-04:00Thank you Ron, I have read your highly biased and ...Thank you Ron, I have read your highly biased and one sided opinions on you blog but do applaud your efforts to bring your simplistic ideas on electoral reform to more citizens.

Voting reformers in Canada are divided between Ranked Ballot Voting and PR. Any type of PR (MMP or STV) adequately provides regional representation. Problem solved!<br /><br />Of course, I applaud your efforts to muddy the waters and help kill another PR referendum... Then at least idiots will shut up about it.Ron Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120060083437508997noreply@blogger.com
