Wayne Cooper<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Justin Trudeau recently broke his campaign promise of electoral reform. This issue has seemingly flown under the Canadian public\u2019s radar largely because it is in the best interests of two dominant parties to retain the archaic and flawed first-past-the-post British electoral system which has guaranteed them power for 150 years.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>For six months, an all-party committee consulted the public, deliberated, and finally recommended a proportional representation electoral system to the federal government. Predictably, Mr. Trudeau ignored that advice and conducted his own online survey designed to produce \u201cno consensus\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Why was proportional representation favoured by the committee on electoral reform? That format would give every Canadian voter a voice \u2013 not just those who vote for the winning party. Under proportional representation, a party receiving five per cent of the popular vote would actually be awarded five per cent of the seats in Parliament. Compare that with the 2015 federal election results wherein the winning party received under 40 per cent of the popular vote yet won 54 per cent of the seats in Parliament and formed a \u201cmajority government\u201d. That\u2019s a flawed voting system!<\/p>\n<p>What would a proportional representation system mean to Canadian voters? Firstly, every vote would count. Policy and legislation would require consensus and would better reflect the values and diversity of Canadians as a whole. The government would be forced to incorporate the views of all parties and act in the best interests of all Canadians \u2013 not just those of the political and financial elite. In effect, a fairer voting system would produce real and much needed change.<\/p>\n<p>Under our current electoral system, a vote for change is a vote that doesn\u2019t count. That grim reality surely reduces voter turnout. It is my hope that, one day, Canadian electors will demand and be given a proportional representation electoral system whereby they\u2019ll be truly enfranchised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
