Let's say we had a referendum on whether Muslims should be required to take an oath that they are opposed to terrorism. Would this referendum be a travesty?Sure. Of course. Why should Muslims be singled out, and required to demonstrate their opposition to terrorism?
But what does that have to do with ALL Canadians being asked whether they do or do not support a different system for electing our representatives??
If you're going to tell me that electors have the same basic human right to a Mixed Member Proportional electoral system with a 5% threshold that Muslims have to not being held accountable for terrorism then take your time. Don't rush to answer. This could take some homework.
I think Canadians have the basic right to have an adequately democratic system where there electoral system sufficiently represents the will of the people. It seems to me that FPTP does not accomplish this basic task of a multi-party democracy.
