Very strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported a proportional representation voting system. They believe it would lead to a more equitable distribution of seats in the Canadian Parliament, better reflecting the diversity of political opinions in the country. In their 2019 election platform, the NDP committed to implementing a mixed-member proportional representation system.

Disagree

No, switch to an instant runoff system

While the NDP has advocated for electoral reform, their primary focus has been on implementing a proportional representation system, specifically a mixed-member proportional representation system. Although an instant runoff system would be a change from the current 'first past the post' system, it is not the preferred option for the NDP. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this option, but not as strongly as with maintaining the current system.
