The pros and cons of reforming B.C.’s electoral system

Oct 23, 2018

The Vancouver Sun quoted Richard Johnston, the Canada Research Chair in public opinion, elections, and representation at UBC, and Maxwell Cameron, a UBC political science professor, in an article about the pros and cons of electoral reform.

“The clarity of responsibility is the great virtue of (the first-past-the-post) system,” Johnston said. Cameron said a government created by first-past-the-post is a compelling vision of democracy.

The story also appeared in the Edmonton Journal.

Cameron also spoke to Breakfast Television on the same topic.
