If not, I would guess he would be more hesitant to sign the politician's pledge.Julien Lamarchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172567131640356045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615716556540686703.post-21841768998068736352012-08-26T23:45:14.133-04:002012-08-26T23:45:14.133-04:00Homer, Dion says he favours proportional represent...Homer, Dion says he favours proportional representation, but wants a “moderate” model just as Quebec Premier Jean Charest did when he proposed, in 2005, a small-district MMP model. <br /><br />This is a question of degree: the Jenkins Commission in the UK also proposed a moderate model, but with a threshold higher than Dion proposes: Jenkins recommended MMP with medium-small regions ranging from four to 12 MPs per region, averaging eight (such as six local, two regional top-up). Wales has 12 (eight and four), Scotland has 16 (nine and seven), Milner proposes 14 (nine and five).Wilf Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546880754492040363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615716556540686703.post-75901349540188799842012-08-25T02:07:01.838-04:002012-08-25T02:07:01.838-04:00It seems like Mr. Dion's proposal is almost ex...It seems like Mr. Dion's proposal is almost exactly like STV.
