No To MMP Part 2

I never thought of this but this letter, published September 24, in response to Andrew Coyne's columns in the National Post advocating for MMP hits a very critical reason to never bring in MMP. Kudos to Mr. Paul Wilson, of Heathcote, Ontario who'se rebuttal to Mr Coyne includes this point.

"So the issue is not stable government but responsible government, which depends on our collective ability, as electors, to toss a government out. In choosing between the existing system or the new proposal, Ontario voters should not think about instant gratification ('The Greens have seats at last!"), or about which end of the political spectrum gets the advantage, but about the long-term consequences of being governed by successions of coalitions over which we, the electors, no longer hold the power of life or death."

He's right under MMP we will never be able to vote the bums out. Get rid of a bad politician by voting them out of a riding and they will just pop up again on the Party List.

Again vote No to MMP on October 10th.

Vote No on MMP (Mixed-Member Proportional)

Do not be fooled this coming election and vote for MMP. Our first past the post the post system works. The problem is low voter turnouts not the system. The process was flawed from the start. At no time was it discussed on how to increase voter turnout only what flawed system will be adopted.

MMP has three major flaws. First no party will ever have a majority again. All MMP governments are coalitions which means back room deals forever with the inevitable corruption that breeds.

Second it fractures the political system into multiple small parties whose votes are needed to create a coalition government which means the majority will be run by the minority interests of these small parties.

names and the rest will be party cronies, Third MMP contains a Party List which voters have no influence on. The party picks who is on the list not the voters. The voters can only pick which party has the least objectionable list and hold their nose and vote for it. This is the Party List and the people on it have no need to listen to the voters as their loyalty is to the Party. In the future the List will have one or two palatable names on it and the rest will be party bagmen/women, and the party leader's friends 'n' family.

Please do not vote for this flawed system in October.
