Description
The first-past-the-post (FPP) system of election in single-Member constituencies is the only means used for election to legislative assemblies in Canada at this time. Occasionally, this system gives far too many seats to the leading party and produces an assembly with an opposition too few in number to fulfill adequately its proper function. It also tend to allow one party to dominate a wide area sometimes completely. This article proposes a new alternative, the Regional seats system which would forestall one problem and combat the other. Aside from producing victories that sometimes are far too lop-sided, first-past-the-post tends to bolster regional speciality, awarding one party in an area nearly all of the seats in election after election. This is unhealthy, for the legislature, the polity it governs, and the area itself. The ruling party will inevitably reflect the interests mainly of the regions where it has done best and other regions may feel comparatively neglected.
