Ontario Votes: Voting Format Referendum

There’s a referendum going on in Ontario on how we will vote in the future. Others summarize it far better than I do:
I don’t think that it’s a bad system, but I am concerned about the reduction in the number of geographically-bound seats (ridings) from 107 to 90; I’d rather see us have 120 geographically-bound seats and an additional 29 “list” seats. I haven’t really decided which way I’m going to vote on it, but I am edging in favour of it. Still, it’s interesting stuff and if you’re an Ontarian, you really need to vote on this.
