What I’m suggesting here is a way that would allow each party to receive its fair share of seats and it fair share of votes.

Progressive causes are left behind, as the Liberals try to convince conservative voters that they can be just as conservatives as the conservatives.

I’ve been saying much the same thing for years – strategic voting is corrosive to political choice and plurality. In a democracy, you ought to be able for the candidate you think is best.
