What the Canadian Election Cost Canada http://www.ianwelsh.net/what-the-ndp-losing-cost-canada/ …
@iwelsh @danielharan @JustinTrudeau Bet they'll go for preferential balloting (IRV/AV) but that'll likely mean more Lib majorities, not less

@sabbatical@danielharan@JustinTrudeau Preferential balloting didn't stop Australia's terrifying slide to right wing nasty, that's for sure -
@iwelsh@danielharan@JustinTrudeau Right. It's a system where a slight secondary preference edge (if dispersed) becomes a landslide. -
@sabbatical@danielharan@JustinTrudeau and since Liberals are second choice of most NDP and Cons. Hope Justin already knew this. ;) -
@iwelsh@danielharan@JustinTrudeau Sure he does. :) Seen Liberal wonks promoting a switch to preferential balloting since at least Martin. -
@sabbatical@danielharan@JustinTrudeau Smart. Evil, but smart. I may link to you and write a piece on it (unless you've written on it?) -
@iwelsh@danielharan@JustinTrudeau Go for it! No, I've not written anything recently. (Did a paper on electoral options *years* back.)
