For those of you who followed last year's Canadian election (which I assume is all of you, since there's nothing more thrilling and engaging than watching a group of middle-aged white men politely apologizing to each other), you'll recall that one of Prime Minister McDreamy's campaign platforms was to replace the current first-past-the-post system with something less stupid.
It looks like they're recommending that we adopt some form of proportional representation.

I like this idea, particularly the mixed one. It allows people to vote for what they feel would be the best option, as opposed to what they feel would be the least bad one in order to block against something worse. It also helps ensure smaller majorities, so that more deal making amongst the parties is required as opposed to one side basically being shut out of the decision making for a few years.
