After the Liberals assumed power, Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef followed up on their campaign promise by announcing a parliamentary committee to evaluate alternative electoral systems and to report their findings before the end of 2016. Challenging the idea that first past the post is obsolete, Should We Change How We Vote? urges Canadians to make sure they understand their electoral system before making drastic changes to it. The contributors to this volume assert that there is perhaps no institution more misunderstood and misrepresented than the Canadian electoral system - it is praised by some for ensuring broad regional representation in Ottawa, but criticized by others for allowing political parties with less than half the popular vote to assume more than half the seats in Parliament. They consider not only how the system works, but also its flaws and its advantages, and whether or not electoral reform is legitimate without a referendum. An essential guide to a crucial debate about the country's future, Should We Change How We Vote? asks if there are alternative reforms that would be easier to implement than a complete overhaul of the electoral system."--|cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 10 Canada.|bParliament|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79058471|xElections.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005375 610 17 Canada.|bParliament.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 533129 650 0 Voting|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85144418 |zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007233- 781 650 0 Elections|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85041557|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781 650 0 Proportional representation|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85107542|zCanada.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007233-781 650 0 Representative government and representation|zCanada. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010110788 650 0 Election law|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008119136 650 7 Elections.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/904324 650 7 Voting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1169232 650 7 Proportional representation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1079244 650 7 Representative government and representation.|2fast|0https ://id.worldcat.org/fast/1094941 650 7 Election law.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/904300 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Potter, Andrew,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2004104675|eeditor. 700 1 Weinstock, Daniel M.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n93120174|eeditor. 700 1 Loewen, Peter John,|d1979-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/no2019014112|eeditor. 710 2 McGill Institute for the Study of Canada,|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2003109704|eissuing body. 776 1 |tShould we change how we vote?.:|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, [2017] ©2017|w(CaOONL)20179002236|w(OCoLC)964336976 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1488010|zOnline eBook.
