Let Canadians decide on electoral reform

In a recent statement the Liberals claimed to be open to all ideas on election reform.

That is incorrect, if they were they would also consider “first past the post.” Instead they have formed a panel of MP’s who they know that the majority are against first past the post, a voting system that Canada has had since the very beginning.

If they think they have a better idea, don’t hide it, tell Canadians what it is and let Canadians chose which system they like the best in a referendum. They want a handful of politicians to do away with a system that has served Canada for 150 years so that they can fulfil and election promise.

We are a democracy where majority rules so lets let Canadians decide in a referendum. Larry Prout Clonsilla Ave.
