Actually, yes.
Personally, I think that OCA-MMP was an ill-conceived design that was a poor answer to the wrong problem. It deserved to be voted down. I advocated against it.
But we're looking to change the electoral system precisely because it does not work. Our votes don't translate into truly representative parliaments possessing articulate mandates from the electorate.
In the Ontario referendum, lots of voters arrived at the polling stations unaware of the referendum. Of course that's a problem but it is symptomatic of the frustration, disenchantment and discinnect between voters and their governments. Many who vote don't think it really matters and many don't see the point of voting and don't bother.
You're right about education, or rather the lack of it in matters civic. That's certainly a factor. Are you going to blame the electorate for that?
And if you spent only 5 minutes researching the assembly and the referendum I can assure you that you that you had nowhere near enough information to make a reasonable decision. And you could easily be forgiven for regarding it as just so much more wool being pullrd over your eyes by the politicians.
Hey... let's look forward. That's what this topic is about. Come to the MacLean's meeting. Participate for a change.
