Nemes Content<p>I can't see why this couldn't work for normal MMP or AV+ though I'd prefer open list for the region vote if we were to go MMP via dual mandate. </p><p>Though I'm likely over looking something mathmatical. Especially if multi member is part if it due to ridings getting as big as 7-9 as an example.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/prorep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prorep</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/proportionalrepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>proportionalrepresentation</span></a></p>
Nemes Content<p>My motivation for this is mostly RUP related as I would want to expand the choice of single member districts to what would be in multi-member. Since it's cleaner for RUP to have follow best runner up for regional appointment, it can be seen as a pseudo-open list. AV+/STV+ model in mind.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/prorep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prorep</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/proportionalrepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>proportionalrepresentation</span></a></p>
Nemes Content<p>Hey fellow proportional representation supporters. I have a hypothetical: how do we feel about MMP or other regional top up systems like RUP with best runner up appointment but parties are allowed to run N + 1 candidates in a riding/district? </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/prorep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prorep</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canpoli</span></a></p>

Blake Hamilton<p>In Canada, millions of votes are wasted every election—and it’s not an accident.

I think the NDP and Liberals should work together and not split votes needed to defeat the Cons. Minority governments work well together. The last sitting of parliament has proven this to be true.
