iPolitics featured a Broadbent Institute paper by David Moscrop, a UBC PhD candidate in political science.
Moscrop recommended the adoption of a proportional voting system to ensure better representation for Canadian voters.
“During recent national elections in Canada, between seven and nine million votes in each contest were ‘wasted’ — cast for a candidate who didn’t win,” wrote Moscrop. “That’s more people than the populations of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island combined who ended up with a member of Parliament they didn’t vote for.”
