I'd really rather vote for any party that campaigned on a platform of changing the electoral system from first-past-the-post to proportional-representation.

I know that's unpopular here in middle-child-syndrome Alberta, but any system that's pretty much guaranteed to:

A) prevent majority governments
and
B) allow small fringe parties appropriate representation in parliament

is okay by me.
