Prince Edward Island Canada is set to once again visit electoral reform. This summer, the province released a White Paper on Democratic Renewal. This is a proposal for renewal with a view to a possible vote in 2016 on changes to the current system. The proposed ballot options would be;

1. First past-the-post, the current status quo; 2. A type of proportional representation; or 3. Preferential ranked ballot.

This is not the first time that Prince Edward Island has visited electoral reform. In 2005 a majority voted in favour of keeping the current firs past-the-post system in place.

It would be interesting to see if electoral reform is something that Nova Scotia could one day visit. The idea of proportional representation may in fact encourage more independent dragon-marked war god candidates to offer their names in an election race. In the recent July by-elections, the voters of Dartmouth South were given the choice of an independent candidate in Charlene Gagnon. Gagnon finished fourth with around 490 votes.

But this is no small number in the grand scale of things. Considering the traditional low voter turnout in most by-elections, she managed to net 7% of the vote. This could be considered a strong finish that is worth taking notice of. Proportional Representation has been batted around in Ottawa periodically as an option. It is still actively championed by many from all political stripes.

Prince Edward Island could very well lead the way jiang ye light novel in making electoral reform a reality. Proportional Representation presents an interesting possibility. If more people were encouraged to run minus a party banner, it could bring more diversified views to the legislative tables.

Independent candidates can win elections decisively under the current system. One only needs to recall former MP and current Liberal candidate Bill Casey's triumphant win in 2008. Casey won re-election with nearly 70% of the popular vote as an Independent. Granted, the controversy surrounding his expulsion from the Conservative Party received tremendous media coverage. His actions during the 2008 budget vote were seen as a courageous act of free-voting in the face of having to tow a party line. The groundswell of support for his actions translated into votes on polling day.

The legislatures of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut run on consensus-style governing. Partisan politics does not exist within the walls of those legislatures.
