Lost a bit in the hubbub about Labour losing massively to the Reform UK is this little tidbit:
Wales is using a new proportional representation model!
There are 96 seats in the devolved parliament (Senedd).
There are 16 new constituencies created with six members each.
The 96 seats are allocated by share of the votes for a party, or by votes for an independent candidate.
Scotland already uses a mixed Constituency and Regional member system to get proportional representation in their parliament.
In England these votes are purely municipal/council/mayoral races. I'm not sure if they're proportional, ranked FPTP, or what.
And yet here we are in Canada, too afraid to change to a more democratic system.

It is frustrating every single time that I see the popular votes versus seats won in Canadian elections.
Especially when you have a party like the Bloc Quebécois who run only in Québec, pull 1.2 million votes in that province, and receive 22 seats in the House, yet the NDP pulls 1.2 million across Canada and gets 7 seats.
All our system does is reward density, rather than delivering actual representation.
But someone please tell me how 'ranked ballots' will fix this*

I support the voice(s) in the Canadian wilderness... near to Carney's birthplace!
