I contend that most people know that FPTP wastes a lot of votes, and the campaign that would be required to change the system would create a lot of awareness that would go a long way towards encouraging more people to vote under a better system. Anyone who's gone to school in Alberta has been taught the advantages and disadvantages of FPTP and Rep-by-pop. STV is just an extension of that learning. |
Rep by Pop is the worst system as it ensures minority governments and minority governments mean parties try to buy eachothers support by funding eachothers stupid pet projects.
