A response to 6 questions
1. It is unacceptable that a
"majority government" can be elected with less than 50% of the
vote. Obviously, if the party received <50% it does not
represent the people.
2. People should be
assured that their vote counts and it doesn't if conditions such as
in #1 exist. So-called strategic voting means that a person does
not vote for their first choice but for some other.
3. I approve of a
proportional representation system.
4. Party discipline, I
assume means a representative voting the party line rather than the
way her/his constituents want. I believe that only with less "party
discipline" is an elected officer truly representative.
5. The power of MLAs to
hold cabinet accountable should be Increased.
6. I highly value the goal
of proportionality at this time in order to make the electoral
process more valid.
