    That is like amending or Charter of Rights

    That’s not accurate at all, you only need a simple majority in parliament to pass either mixed-member proportional or the single transferable vote electoral systems.

    It’s only with the party lists that transcend provincial boundaries that require a constitutional amendment. Though no one is pushing for that system as we want to keep our local representation.

      MMP is my dream system. I like the idea of retaining local reps even if we have less of them.

      From what I understand though, FairVote is pro PR and I don’t know of any other sizable electoral reform organizations.
