      As a western citizen who watches elections be decided before my vote is counted, I’d support any reform that makes me feel more heard as a voter.

      Edit: except the separatist movement. Those people can suck it.

      Probably depends on where you reside in the country because some regions are definitely overrepresented when looking at seats per capita and some regions are underrepresented when looking at the same metric. 

      Especially when you look at Supreme Court seat allocation by region than Western Canada is severely underrepresented.

      Edit: after reading the article it surprised me that Atlantic Canada supported a fairer distribution of seats as much as they do because they would be some of the most impacted people by it.

      66% nationally in favour of proportional representation? This is amazing news. Is electoral reform possible?

      Personally, I favour the MMP system that New Zealand and Australia use, although really ANY electoral reform from the current system would be good.

      However, it doesn’t matter how many people are in the area if the party the mp was elected to is doing party lines and not actually listening to, and advocating for, what the people in the area need.

      How come Atlantic Canadians both feel under represented in federal parliament while wanting an equal population per riding? They’re currently over represented in federal parliament relative to their population size. Making it equal population per riding will make them lose seat share than now.
