Thank you for this excellent in depth commentary. It is very clear that our governments are not working for Canadian citizens and having to toe the party line sounds pretty much the way that bullies get their way in the school yard. I'm not sure this was ever brought into the discussion as one more reason to move to proportional representation but having heard this, it would be one of the top reasons for making election reform an absolute must. Imagine a system where every vote counted, where we had a more diverse group of people representing us, where one party couldn't control everything and one leader had to listen to opinions and where honest debate would be the norm. Election reform seems to be our best hope for the future where constituents are taken into consideration and the dictatorship is ended. Let's make it happen.
