Lots of reasons to Vote for MMP

Xtra.ca has published 5 reasons why we should vote for MMP.

MMP gives us the freedom to elect a party that we want to see form government yet choose a local candidate that we feel would reflect our interests better.

90 of the 129 seats proposed under MMP are elected by our current First-past-the-post system, that's a full 70% of the legislature. The remaining seats, 39 would be filled by list members, that's only 30%... a very modest yet important change.

The Toronto Star has published an article supporting MMP.

MMP gives us two important components in an election system: having local representation plus a chance to vote for the party we want to lead the province.

Add your reason why you're supporting MMP!
