Under Proportional Representation, Bernier would be selecting 17 other PPC Candidates to join him on Parliament Hill in the Opposition Back benches and the Greens would be shut out.
The Conservatives would have no more seats than they won under FPTP and it is most likely that Trudeau would approach the NDP in a bid to retain the Government under a proof that he has the support of the majority of the house (113 Lib + 62 NDP = 175 seats).
As it is we now have 2 Greens 0 PPC and the Liberals relying primarily on the NDP to maintain confidence.
Not unhappy with FPTP picketing hospitals and throwing rocks at heads of state should not be rewarded.
One of the ridings in Edmonton is fairly close 3 ways. They weren't calling it yet last I looked, mail ballots will likely be important there.Be interesting to see if the mail-ins make any difference. Not like to shift anything major but could change a riding or two here and there. I saw a headline skate by that they had shifted Peterborough-Kawartha here in Ontario but haven't chased down details.
The disparity doesn't need to be that large though. If PEI needs 4 why not scale up the other areas proportionality?The three territories have very small populations. PEI is guaranteed 4 seats in our constitution. Those 4 seats cannot be part of any comparison of the value of one's vote.
Germany has elections on Sunday. They have proportional elections. All candidates who get majority in their ridings get in and then the seats get calculated according to how many % their party got overall. If more candidates got in directly that the % of the party votes, the other parties get extra seats to make up for the % they achieved. The number of seats without the balancing seats are somewhere around 600. If they have to make up more, it could be over 800. That adds a lot of expenses to gouvernment.
True, it may be time to reassess what PEI gets. Things can be changed although it can be a little difficult.Parliament would need to be expanded to about 900 members
200 more representatives have to be paid, housed, fed, have offices, staff.Confused. How does proportional election add to costs? Additional calculations post ballot?
