Canada should become a republic and use the electoral college like the United States.

 @9KGWSV2from New Brunswick  answered…10mos10MO

Nonparty Semi direct democracy would be best. Elected representatives. Referendums. Leader of the country is elected directly in a multi phase race. Provincial, regional and local representation is elected. If a clear majority isn’t achieved on any subject it triggers referendum.

It is bigoted to assume an individual will have different opinions based on skin colour or genitalia. It promotes segregation and should not be tolerated. Western countries are a melting pot and we should be proud of it.

I am a little torn about this because I like the idea of it but wouldn't that mean we would have more than one prime minister at the same time?

 @9JV5LCX from New Brunswick  answered…11mos11MO

No and Yes. The people voted into office should be "first past the post" but once in office, any vote is judge 50/50 by both the % of the vote made by those who are elected, then calculate the % of a proportional representation. ("FPTP"+"PR")/2= Final Voting Result

 @9JQ8T5Jfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but switch to a Parallel Voting System, & ensure the constituency & proportional seat numbers are exactly 50/50.

 @9JC6BKVfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

No, but more equally distribute the weights by culture and community, not by population; allow for the most diverse possible outcomes without losing overall importance of the popular choice. Something like 66% popular vote should guarantee a result, regardless.

 @9HV5QFWfrom British Columbia  answered…12mos12MO

No, Canada should be a single-party socialist state and adopt a system similar to the National People's Congress in China.

 @9GZYG4Jfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Canada should become a constitutional republic instead of a constitutional monarchy, then electoral college at state, county and at city level would make this question irrelevant.

 @9FN75NHNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

complicated, it can be good but proportional rep. can give a possible risk of extremist parties gaining power that would otherwise not be in power

 @9FHKZYXfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9D4R2DYfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and implement a system similar to Australia's voting system regarding preferential voting.

 @8V4B69Jfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3yrs3Y

Should be 2 votes separately. Popular vote for PM and other vote for local member.

 @8V8LQD4New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

All votes should be counted and the party with the most votes after ALL have been counted should win.

 @9RF57CQanswered…5mos5MO

No, we should adopt the Australian Alternative Vote system that maintains single constituencies but that also gives voters extra choice.

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

I think we should implement parts of it into our current system to make it more like a mixed-member compensatory system

 @9M6YCXKfrom Manitoba  answered…8mos8MO

It’s long overdue to change the voting system. China can easily manipulate a country’s voting system by a politician paying a certain amount of money.

 @9LJGNWTPeople’s from British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

No. Implement a series of run-off elections after those candidates receiving less than a certain amount of votes are eliminated. A candidate wins ONLY after securing 50.1% of the vote.

 @9LHLKDCfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

No, instead give all candidates running an equal amount of screentime and determine the winner based on 100% of the voters.

 @9K6M454from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

This could get really unstable and corrupted quick as any other political system, only better used for parties themselves, not for the head of the state.

 @9JWMJCZ from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Well mostly they should only be telling the truth about themselves and that's the whole truth by following the rules. They should not be telling lies or else it will lead to their entire elimination of becoming government.

 @9BP44CPfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but the system needs to be reformed so that not just Ontario and Quebec get to decide.

 @96JGN83from Quebec  answered…2yrs2Y

We should have a mix of the current system and proportional representation

 @95YWBT9from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @95J9PCRfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if regional representation remains limited to local candidates.

Yes, so long as it is kept democratic and attempts at gerrymandering and corruption are prohibited.

 @8ZV7WDZfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

No, switch to a sortition system for choosing political officials and abolish elections altogether

 @8ZN4YG4from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, this could make our government's ability of good governance/efficiency to be compromised, as the government is made up of a broad coalition of different views. I get why people think this is a good idea, as it could preserve a lot of really good ideas that in a FPTP system could be at more risk of being fully eliminated/scratched from budgets, but it could make people lose faith in an already good system that works, and that's why I'm against it.

I would prefer a system such as ranked balloting, in which individual people rank their preference in terms of candidates, because most people, when going to the polls, have an idea of at least two or three people they're going to vote for/allows candidates to win based on broad support, rather than pandering to their voter base only.

Keep the current system but change the qualifications for the size and number of electoral districts, so as rural Canada gets the same geographical representation as urban Canada.

 @8VW3N8Dfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VVPWGCfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, not until a professionally curated, unbias, promoted list of pros and cons is published on the government website, so citizens have a common legitimate source of information to make their own dicision when voting on this.

 @8VVD7Z4from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Let’s vote on the platform that is best suited from each political party. They will be responsible for this platform. Each party has its pros and cons and I strongly suggest they work together representing their own platform. Let’s move away from party elections but platform elections.

 @8VV2P57from Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VR933Sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Add in rank choice voting for each citizen to have their top 3 candidates.

 @8VBMK2Mfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VB2DHNanswered…3yrs3Y

Each individual vote regardless of where in Canada the vote is from should count. First past the poll leads to an inaccurate representation of the people.

 @8V99D27from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TTCLGBfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

we should vote prime minister and our representative but get rid of party system and our rep should vote the way his/her constituents want him too. have small votes in riding for important subjects, so people tell rep how to vote not a party.

 @8TRPMHXfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

 @8T452LXfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

people need to earn the right to vote. the system should be proportional to that.

 @8T3HZBLNew Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

Adopt a mixed voting system such as those found in some European nations (ie. Scotland)

I think you should be able to vote for who you want as your riding representative and be able to vote for who you want on a federal level.
