The mixed-member proportional voting system could be very beneficial to Ontario, and hopefully will be used in the following years to come. The fact that 37 percent, a significant number, voted for the MMP shows that it could change in further elections and win the majority. This article stated that “many voters simply didn’t get the information they needed to decide.” I found this to be true through personal experience, as I had to actively research the MMP to figure out what it was all about, and several people I spoke to were voting for the current system simply because it was familiar and therefore made sense to them. The MMP gives individual voters a more significant voice, and with it, certain parties would be more accurately represented.To watch a short clip promoting the MMP system, click here:
