Currently, Canada's electoral system is based on a "first past the post" system. The candidate with the most votes in a riding wins a seat in the House of Commons and represents that riding as its Member of Parliament. The Governor General asks the Members of Parliament to form a government, which is normally the party whose candidates have won the most seats; that party's leader generally becomes Prime Minister. An absolute majority of the electorate is not needed, and is rarely achieved. As a result, power has been held by either of two parties for most of Canada's history. The party whose candidates win the second largest number of seats becomes the Official Opposition.

No, switch to an instant runoff system
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
No, keep the current “first past the post” system
Supplementary Voting (SV) would be the best system.
I believe the UK should look towards becoming more of a representative republic like the USA.
Yes, but I'd rather witch to ranked voting
The fact that this is even a question goes to show how laughable the current regime is.
@9VXZFCLConservative10mos
No, and adopt the American Electoral College
No, Canada should switch to the Condorcet voting system. It is the most fair out of all the other voting systems.
I don’t understand this, also can we please just get rid of the government
the alternative voter in better
No, Make a Mixed Member/Parallel Voting System
Mixed system like Germany
Yes but only if it benefits right wing movements
Yes, but only for one chamber
No, create a centrally controlled electoral college system
Yes, and switch to a score voting system
Yes, but switch to a score voting system
Make the House of Lords proportional, and make the Commons locally elected with instant runoff.
Yes, we should model it after the electoral college in the States so rural Canadians will have more say in political affairs
Do one like The U.S, by province.
No, switch to an electoral college instead. Toronto Montreal and Vancouver have all the power currently.
