      Huh. That makes sense.

      It still skews the popular vote, though. The winning party got a few extra percent while the lowest parties got less.

        True, but it comes out pretty close. STV would be a huge improvement over our current system of FPTP. My personal favourite though is open list mixed member proportional. But, regardless, I feel it would be good for there to be an unbiased National Citizens Committee on Electoral Reform, to research and make recommendations to the politicians on improvements to our electoral system.

          I agree. I would like to see a system that truly reflects the preference of the people but that eliminates the possibility that a tiny, extremist party could punch above it’s weight.
