Reform pluses Dear Sir: In its submission to the Fed-. .eral. - Electoral. Boundaries Commission _- for .- British Columbia; the multi-party lobby group Campaign for Electoral. Reform . recom- mended. the: Mixed) Member proportional — representation sysiem,.. which . . prevents weakening the riding system. Under this system the num- ber of ridings would be con- solidated to form half of the number now represented in the House of Commons. These seats would be filled by a can- didate selected in‘each riding, The remaining 141 seats would be filled by. candidates selected from party lists, with a separate list for each Canadian province. The’ résult would be” that each: riding would have two Members of Parliament, the ‘local’? MP and an MP elected from the party list. Under this system two votes are cast. Each voter: can vote for their favoured riding candl- date and also vote for their favoured partly. Why should Canada. change to Mixed Member proportional representation? The Campaign for Electoral Reform pointed out the following advantages: 1, Fair representation in Par- Mament for both major and minor parties. 2. The number of ridings i is fixed. 3. There are no wasted voles, 4, It promotes unity, Political parties must work together ina consultative manner. 5. The. system promotes debate since consensus must be reached on some issues, 6. There are fewer individual riding demands as ridings have been consolidated. Therefore, services can be provided on a priority basis, rather than on a favoured riding basis. . Still another advantage is that this system promotes voter interest and involvement in the OR | € Hoo SE CA SHBA KU = To ON SELECTED MODELS F-SERIES RANGER BRITISH COLUMBIA FORD & MERCURY DEALERS ‘Fone and, cashbock offers may ‘not be combined, 4.9% financing offer available on all new ‘95 and prior year retail purchases of Escort, Tourus, Sole, Ranger, F-Serias (regular cab, non diesel) Aer polltical process, This leads to illoger models fram dacler inventory for a maximum af 43 months on approved credit.
