Countries with Proportional Voting systems have increased the size of government faster than countries with first past the post voting systems. Imagine how much faster our federal government is likely to grow if the Liberals and NDP form a coalition. Proportional Representation is not the solution to growing government,
Politics follows culture, and as long as our culture believes that government should "help" people, politicians will continue to offer new programs to get elected, and implement some of them at an increased cost to society. But FORCE is the only tool the government has to accomplish anything. The only moral use of force is to protect life, liberty and property. How do we convince voters that the government is immoral?
When you add up the "right leaning" seats under the proposed proportional system, you forgot to include the independent candidate that ran and won in Haldimand Norfolk. Bobbi Ann Brady won 35% of the vote on June 2nd.

The only electoral change I wish to see is to reduce the size, scope and cost of all levels of government to 1/5 its current size.
