It is three days since the PEI election and another attempt at bringing in proportional representation. It came very, very close, but failed. It lost with 49%. Had it been reversed, would 51% really be a win? We need middle ground. And we have it.
The Liberals came to power with a promise that 2015 would be the last election with the stodgy old electoral system. So here we are! On the dawn of a new age! A new and exciting election system this fall!
Well, something happened on the way to the bank, I guess. Proportional representation was just a bridge too far. Where we should be going is more like an intersection than a bridge.
