I have quite a few creative ideas, but am too tired to write them down rn. I'll go the easy, lazy way (and write about more legislation ideas tomorrow):

Proportional representation like Germany. In every election, the voter votes for an individual and a party. The individual is chosen to represent the riding through STAR voting (my version). After all MPs are elected, to ensure proportional representation according to the party votes (the second vote that voters cast), individuals from party lists are put into parliament.

This way, we get riding representation and party representation.

Just remember it's proportional representation that is allowing Netanyahu to keep power. A far right small religious group is giving him the balance of power. So it's not always so simple.

    Fuck! You got me. Nice job.

    I was about to explain electorate system, how he would need fewer votes here to be elected, and how bad is picking a mechanism just because your candidate has better chances to win rather than give more voice to the people. But then I read the nickname.

    You might be one of the best troll accounts we had in .ca in a while. Thank you for the chuckle.
