At least half the trash talk about electoral reform survey is richly deserved
KAMLOOPS — Did you get your postcard in the mail this week inviting you to take part in the federal Liberals’ online survey on “democratic values”?
The Libs are getting lambasted for it, and at least half of it is deserved.
Critics, especially New Democrats and Conservatives, say the survey, intended to get feedback on the issue of electoral reform, doesn’t get to the point. They’re right.
The closest it comes is to ask a couple of questions that try to gauge whether you prefer a multiple-choice ballot or a pick-one lineup: “A party that wins the most seats in an election should still have to compromise with other parties, even if it means reconsidering some of its policies.”
