Reprinting my post from another location.
I like the mixed member option for the referendum. I have been hoping for some form of implementation for decades. At least now we have a chance to vote for its existence. I doubt though that it will pass. There has been enough bad reporting about what it actually is that most will stick to the “tried and true” of first past the post. It would be tougher to get a majority with the mixed but unlike the past, my vote would actually count, everytime. It would give me representation. It would also give everyone else who votes representation no matter who gets elected in a riding. It would also better reflect the will of the people. Would it make it tougher to govern? You bet it would. But it should be hard for governments to turn our world upside down. It may even inspire people to get involved in party politics so they may have a voice in who gets on the published list for the 39 seats.
