For P~ng & Rev, here's something for you: http://www.keepvotingsimple.ca/read-me/
No need anymore to waste your own time on researching anti-change pro-FPTP propaganda. "keepvotingsimple.ca" has it for you.
Another ally for you is Tony Clement:
Which might be applicable is I had ever made the argument that systems other than FPTP were too complex. I haven't.
My argument is now, and always has been that spending a lot of time and trouble changing voting system is a waste because in fact it will not change anything in the overall system.
And believe me, any change that requires changing ridings will never happen. I well remember the outcry in Vancouver when the Socreds tried to change a single riding. Multiply that by 338 and you'll soon figure out that any scheme that tries to change ridings is dead in the water.
But even if that hurdle could be overcome, so what? Show me a country that uses a PR system that is better run, that is run more in the interest of the average citizen. Greece? Spain? Israel? Germany? Italy?
Where is this workers paradise that has come about by the use of PR voting?
The whole PR voting thing has the feel of the student who can't answer a question after much trying, so decides to solve the situation by changing the question to one that he can answer.
