I grew up in Norway where they voted for a party (list of candidates) and was represented by percentage of votes [PR]. This voting system did not give Norway an unstable government. [1 page]

Submission Content
We like to think of Canada as a democracy but that is not so if our elected officials can ignore 42% of the voting public as if they do not exist. People do not vote because 'it is no use I would not be heard anyway'. When the Liberals removed the opposition status from the two opposition members they showed total disrespect for democracy. I would like to see our voting system changed so it will be a valid opposition.
