Proportional action

Robert points out that the federal NDP, led by Catherine Bell, is bringing proportional representation to the forefront through a petition and motion in the House of Commons. Of course, it doesn't seem particularly likely that any other party now represented in Parliament will do anything but run away from the proposal - but at worst the action should bring the issue back into the public eye, and it's at least possible that the other opposition parties will realize (and care) that the most sure way to keep PMS from a majority is to put in place a system which better reflects the voting choices of Canadians.
