Senator Supports Mixed Member Proportional Representation
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007
TORONTO - Ontario’s voting system works badly and should be reformed by
referendum on October 10, says a leading member of the Conservative Party.
Big business in Ontario needs a better voting system as do Ontario’s
taxpayers, voters, parents, church and community volunteers, investors,
employees, employers, farmers, seniors, students “and funders of our
Parliament and Government,”
Senator Hugh Segal said today in a call to action delivered to the Economic
Club of Toronto.
On election day, Wednesday October 10, Ontario voters by referendum will
choose between the status quo, First Past the Post (FPTP), or the reform
alternative, Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) representation.
