Driifting around Ontario this summer, visiting friends and relations on the beach, at the cottage, we found this proportional representation referendum coming up in the chat a few times. In my experience, people said they were not very engaged with it, and then they said two things about it quite firmly:
- We need more politicians in the legislature? That's nuts. What the hell?
- There's a lot wrong with any plan that lets the parties appoint members of the legislature.
Maybe it's going down. It seems to be a thing for party politicos and poli-sci beancounters.
