   #PEI election today and referendum today. I hope mixed member proportional representation maintains its losing streak in Canada.

   OTOH, if we want to experiment with #ElectoralReform, a small province would be the best place to try it out.

      FWIW, I'm not completely opposed to #ElectoralReform in Canada. I favour more use of preferential ballots; they're particularly well-suited to voting for mayors.

      Once (or if) voters become comfortable with #PreferentialVoting, then we could try it for the election of MLAs...

      (Australia, which is a sister-country to Canada, has used preferential voting for a century, so we can have some idea of how it would work in practice.)
