Voting reform should be priority, Letter to the Editor, May 20

-

I fully agree with letter writer Alan Trufal that voting reform should be a priority in this and every election until we get a proportion­al voting system both provincial­ly and federally.

In Ontario’s elections, my vote has not counted for many years because it doesn’t elect anyone that can exert influence over our false majority government­s.

So, like many others, I am forced to vote strategica­lly “against” parties to keep them from getting false majority rule for another four years.

This is a very negative approach to voting, but it is my only option under our current “winner take all” system and until we have reform to a proportion­al system where my vote would actually count. Gerrard Weedon, Toronto
