I truly wish to see a truly democratic system installed in
Canada that would require that an individual needs at least fifty
percent of the vote, plus one, in order to represent a
constituency. A representative should only represent
his/her constituents, not a party, or any other group or
organization. Representatives could elect a government. Multiple
[run off] elections could be required so that an individual could
gain a majority.
The matter of any party forming the government, without fifty
percent of the vote, seems absurd.
I further more also believe that a party and a candidate, or an
elected official, should not be able to accept donations from
anyone but one of their constituents, not from an organization, or
a body corporate, and all donations should be severely limited in
amount.
