Current rabble poll

Do you think the new electoral reform committee will create change?

The Liberals have backed the NDP's idea for the electoral reform committee and in doing so given up majority control. Democracy in action folks!

Now, the committee will be composed of five Liberals, three Conservatives, two New Democrats, one member of the Bloc Québécois and Green MP Elizabeth May -- all with full voting rights.

It seems now that three parties -- Liberals, NDP and Green -- are in favour of electoral reform, though differ in the choice of system, while two parties -- Conservatives and Bloc Québécois -- oppose reform.

Do you think the new electoral reform committee will create change?
