Fair Vote Canada on Bluesky

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where.

Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for.

That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides.

Is there anywhere else that’s switched to proportional representation, run-off voting, or similar from FPTP?

New Zealand, Australia.

How does it affect things like regional representation.

Regional representation is mostly the same. Even in the current situation, we can have parachute candidates: candidates that don't come from the region are allowed to put up their name for consideration and be elected. So we don't really have good regional representation to begin with. And if that's the case, regional representation isn't as relevant as people might perceive it to be (that's not to say it isn't important!).

even though it’s the rural population that’s taking care of the fundamentals in our economy.

The economy is far too complex to capture in this statement alone.
