Proportional representation, in whatever form, only complements
the existing flaw in our system. It would be better to drastically
change the system -- perhaps to a consensus systen as the NWT and
Nunavut -- than to tinker. Others have argued that the party they
voted for did not receive recognition proportionally. If one votes
for a party, then why have local electoral districts and
candidates, let the winning party decide. On the other hand, if one
votes for a candidate, then why have the party, if candidates were
independent, then they would represent their riding. I would argue
that the latter is preferable.
