What was needed
To review, the result of the referendum would have been binding if the chosen electoral system (FPTP or MMP) was selected in :
(a) At least 60% of all the valid referendum ballots cast; and
(b) more than 50% of the valid referendum ballots cast in each of at least 64 electoral districts.
According to the results, FPTP was approved by 63.2% of the voters. 36.9% of the voters chose MMP. FPTP was approved of by 50%+1 votes in 102 of the 107 ridings.
Where MMP did well
A strong membership and volunteer base in downtown Toronto is reflected in the results:
Trinity-Spadina: 59.2%
Davenport: 56.7%
Toronto-Danforth: 55.1%
Parkdale-High Park: 54.5%
Beaches - East York: 50.1%
Davenport: 56.7%
Toronto-Danforth: 55.1%
Parkdale-High Park: 54.5%
Beaches - East York: 50.1%
MMP in Ottawa
MMP was approved of in the 7 Ottawa area ridings by the following amounts:
Carleton-Mississippi Mills: 29.5%
Nepean-Carleton: 31.5%
Ottawa Centre: 47.9%
Ottawa-Orleans: 29.9%
Ottawa South: 34.2%
Ottawa-Vanier: 38.9%
Ottawa West-Nepean: 33.2%
I think people in the North thought MMP would mean less influence for them. How about a referendum on Northern Ontario separation?
Nipissing: 27.1%
Sault Ste. Marie: 26.2%
Timmins-James Bay: 22.7%
