The ones who are in power will never want to relinquish it while they have it because they do not want to lose it.
It gets harder if the major parties are fighting each other

MODERATORS
It will never be done. Trudeau, Legault, Marois, they all said they would do it but change their mind when they got elected.
Yeah, at a fundamental level it requires an elected leader to change the system that just elected them. It'll never be in their best interest.
As long as money and wealth keep heavily influencing and controlling our government .... elections will never change.
Prop Rep is still a hard sell.
Go for ranked choice first so people get used to non-binary outcomes.
Jeez, that's higher support than I thought. I always thought it was more of a fringe issue. It will probably be like marijuana. Popular policy for a long time until it finally gets adopted.
The good thing about proportional representation is that once itβs adopted it stays because people appreciate the system more as they try out it for the first time.
I think this is partially because the question is very vague. I generally support PR and wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Canadians do too, but I think if you compare the current system to just "proportional representation", it allows respondents to imagine their ideal system that fits within PR.
I remember answering this survey, and thinking the results would be drastically less favorable if you describes a specific system, like for example, MMP. Similarly if you added more details, like would their be less local representatives, or would parliament have to expand significantly?
