I advocate for electoral reform at both the federal and provincial levels, despite the fact that at the provincial level this would benefit the Wildrose, who I do not like. Will you do the same?

No... I am in favor of the current first past the post system. IMO all other systems tend to lend themselves to unwieldy coalition goverments where all legislation is a compromise just to get it passed and everybody usually ends up unhappy with the end result... also I think it impeads the passing of legisation in an effective and expeditious manner.... in other words, it takes forever to get done.
I feel that Europe doesn't have the will or the ability to get itself out of the current mess that its in primarily because so many governments there are some form of coalition government. Sometimes its tough enough to get consensus in your own party, let alone have to do it in 2 or 3 others too. (ie... see Greece)
