Monday, August 13th, 2007If you were a Young Liberal, would you be celebrating this photo?
I can’t see anyone smiling. Not one child. Not even the MP.
Yeah, the local media ate it up alright.
Still on the fence on MMP
Monday, August 13th, 2007But Calgary Grit may have just pushed me over to the ‘no’ side.

Update: ‘Gauntlet’ makes a great comment at CG’s (3:07 PM):
Here’s how I look at MMP - it’s like patching a hole in a sinking ship with a poisonous goop.You’re solving one serious problem and giving yourself another one…
He then goes on to make some great points. This one gives me even more reason to stay on the ‘No’ side:
The serious problem with the existing system is the massive disproportionality of the results. MMP solves that problem more or less effectively. In exchange, though, you have to get a large number of individuals in legislative roles who were put there through internal party mechanisms that are not open to public participation and are lacking in transparency.
He says that’s not democratic.
