In today's news I finally saw the headline I have been waiting some time to see. :w00t:
I will get to cast my vote for some long overdue electoral reform. :D
The First Past the Post system (FPP) in use throughout North America is antiquated and has (over and over again) given us governments that do not reflect the popular vote. The Mixed Member Proportional system (MMP) that is recommended will do much to improve that problem. I have followed the issue of electoral reform for years now, watching as it s l o w l y has been working its way through the procedural gymnastics needed to get itself to my ballot box. (I just did a search on this board, and I am on record discussing this back in 2004.:rolleyes:)
And, next fall, I will have my chance to change my world - for the better. :cool:

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
