NDP Leader Jack Layton and democracy advocate Lorne Nystrom have announced their intent to have Parliament vote on a national referendum on changing our electoral system. The vote will be Canada’s first on proportional representation, an electoral system in place in all but two industrial democracies, for 80 years.
“In the industrialized world, only two countries haven't changed their system – and we live in one of them. That's not good enough.” - Lorne Nystrom, M.P. & NDP Democracy Advocate
