EDITOR:

The most surprising thing about electoral reform is that Liberal MLAs won't just admit that they'd rather not share power and co-operate. Proportional representation means sharing power and co-operating with people that are typically just ignored. So, they support First-Past-the-Post more than almost anyone. They design an unfair process that favours the status-quo. Not only that, they pretend it is a fair process. Is it deliberate? It seems dishonest. Personally, I think Liberal MLAs have a personal interest in the outcome, and it is clouding their judgment. How could someone that claims to care about voters have the gall to ignore the first vote and rig the second?
