STV Referendum.
I voted Yes last referendum, however I am encouraging everyone to vote NO this time. It won't fix the "problems" with the current system of First Past the Post. The proponents argue more choices means more voices in the legislature which inevitably means minority and/or coalition governments. The so-called 'Coalition Crisis' of December '08 that led to Parliament being prorogued proved that Canadians were not yet politically mature enough to start being like Italy or Israel which have coalition governments almost after every election. While we learning to deal with a new governance model many governments will fail confidence votes, so more elections. Initially, coalition governments will cost us more money. I hope some modern day Mike Pearson comes and really makes it work. I'm not against electoral reform, right now I wish we were voting on term limits
