Should Canada Have Proportional Representation?

1. Canada currently uses a first-past-the-post voting system, where the candidate with the most votes in each riding wins the seat, even if they receive less than 50% of the vote. A recent Ontario poll shows strong support for proportional representation, where the number of seats a political party wins more closely reflects its share of the overall vote.

Do you think Canada should adopt proportional representation, where the percentage of seats a party wins more closely matches its share of the vote?

2. Have you ever felt that voting did not matter because your vote was unlikely to affect the outcome under the current electoral system?

3. Would proportional representation make you more likely to vote?
