We seem to be circling the issue.  Nationally, the NDP would get more seats with PR  Nationally, the NDP is a big supporter of PR.  No doubt they'd prefer MMP but the advantage of STV (more seats) would outweigh the disadvantage (less control from the top).  Provincially, the NDP would get fewer seats and the party insiders might lose some control.  Carole James obviously doesn't want to come out publicly against the system because it might cost her some votes.  So, she lets Tieleman and Schreck do the dirty work while she maintains it's a 'non-partisan issue'.

There are other possible explanations but the simplest one is that both NDP parties, (like all of the other parties), are putting their own interests ahead of democracy and ahead of the peoples' interests.

That's politics, folks.  It isn't a pretty picture.  And that's why we need change.
