The way I would like to see it is that each party released a list of members for each region they plan on participating in.

The list of names would be ranked in order from top to bottom, 1. 2. 3. etc.

Then each province's party vote breakdown is translated into the amount of seats that each party wins in a given province.

In Alberta, there's 28 seats if I recall correctly. So if the vote breakdown goes as follows

60% Conservatives
20% Liberals
15% NDP
5% Green

Then you just do the math, and the Conservatives get 17 seats, Liberals get 6 seats NDP get 4, and the Greens 1.

So the top 17 names get taken from the Conservative list, the top 6 from the Liberals and so on. Afterwards, they get allocated a riding in their province to represent in parliament.

That way everyone's vote counts everywhere, and the parties actually have to give a crap about more than just Ontario and Quebec. I'm a typically Liberal voter, and my vote has not mattered at all other than to give the party $2. It is especially annoying because Rob fricken Anders is the dufus in my riding.
