An electoral reform submission written by Maxwell A. Cameron, a UBC political science professor, was featured in the Georgia Straight.
Cameron argued for proportional representation, which would lead to fewer “false majority governments.”
“Party leaders would have to learn to work together, as competition among parties would be tempered by the recognition of the need for cooperation between elections,” he wrote in his paper to the House of Commons committee. “This would reduce the incentives for permanent campaigning and the use of wedge issues.”
