It is now widely accepted that Canada uses a first-past-post-election system. However, this system may no longer be in Canada's interest. There are many reasons why Canada should change its electoral system to mixed proportional representation, a variant of proportional representation. Under the first past the post system, elected officials will always be the majority and this excludes minorities from fair representation. Adopting MMP can create stronger voter turnout, more personal campaigns, better individual representation, and better party selection. John Hiemstra and Harold Janson both favor an MMP electoral system. They understand that with the change, citizens will get greater representation in parliament, their preferred choice will have a say in the House of Commons and finally someone can be held accountable, which creates a closer network between citizens and members of Parliament. Nelson Wiseman opposes the MMP system because he believes there is nothing to fix in Canada. If the current system has worked well so far, there is no need to change it. The MMP would allow smaller parties to make their voices heard. Unfortunately, the first past tends to have an overrepresentation of regional parties; unlike the first-past-the-post system, MMP allows Canadians to have supporters and legislators with whom most citizens agree. Another advantage of MMP is the elimination of strategic voting. With MMP people can finally vote for who they want instead of choosing who the majority prefers. A change in Canada's electoral system will create a more fair and just Parliament to govern the citizens. Nelson Wiseman believes that many are unaware of the complexity... halfway down the paper... back to the citizens. Proportional representation is almost always recognized as the fairest electoral system. With this in mind, many still reject a mixed proportional system. Critics argue that the current method has produced a stable and effective government, while MMP would create an ineffective government. Wiseman believes that because Canada has remained consistently stable, our electoral system does not need to be changed. Hiemstra and Jansen disagree with the pluralistic system currently in place because it does not produce fair representation and devalues ​​the citizens' vote. Canadians must make a choice between the value of effectiveness and the values ​​of justice and equity. While a change is not expected in the near future, Canadian citizens can hope that it is at least on the minds of many voters and on the government's discussion list.
