Yet another unpublished masterpiece

Sirs,
The editorial (The many flaws in the Liberal plan) in today's Globe misses some important information: The only party that advocated for FPTP in the last election was the Conservative Party. It got less than 33% of the vote. Prominent in all the other party platforms was a promise to change the system, although each differed on what that should look like.
If that wasn't a referendum for change, it's hard to imagine what would be.
Furthermore, although over 57% of voters in BC failed to pass the government's arbitrary 60% threshold, that was a direct consequence of the very complicated system the government's "consultations" had produced. Had we been offered the system the federal Liberals proposed during the election -- the system that just elected the new mayor of London -- I'm confident BC would now be the example we apparently need to prove that electoral change can improve democracy.

(By the way, that method produced our first Social Credit governments in 1952 and 1953. And no, there was no referendum to either implement it, or to revert to FPTP for the next election.)

Sincerely,
