Currently, Canada's electoral system is based on a "first past the post" system. The candidate with the most votes in a riding wins a seat in the House of Commons and represents that riding as its Member of Parliament. The Governor General asks the Members of Parliament to form a government, which is normally the party whose candidates have won the most seats; that party's leader generally becomes Prime Minister. An absolute majority of the electorate is not needed, and is rarely achieved. As a result, power has been held by either of two parties for most of Canada's history. The party whose candidates win the second largest number of seats becomes the Official Opposition.

No, reform to electoral college instead and also reform Canada to a constitutional republic
@92WWW9B2yrs2Y
Supplementary Voting (SV) would be the best system.
@9279SC62yrs2Y
I believe the UK should look towards becoming more of a representative republic like the USA.

The fact that this is even a question goes to show how laughable the current regime is.
@8TWYDBK3yrs3Y
No, and adopt the American Electoral College

No, Canada should switch to the Condorcet voting system. It is the most fair out of all the other voting systems.

Make the House of Lords proportional, and make the Commons locally elected with instant runoff.

Yes, we should model it after the electoral college in the States so rural Canadians will have more say in political affairs

Do one like The U.S, by province.

There should be no political parties that necessitate proportionality
