minus-squareSunshine (she/her)linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 month ago I’m not a fan of straight proportional representation, because it undercuts and devalues ridings and constituencies. That’s not entirely accurate as the electoral systems mixed-member proportional and the single transferable vote under the proportional representation family both retain the local representation. It’s only the party-lists system that abolishes local ridings.
