Proportional Rep. in Ontario: The Podcast

TVO's Big Ideas has this audio of a panel discussion on the Ontario referendum on changing the electoral system to proportional representation (called MMP).
  • The good thing about this podcast is that the particpants know what they are talking about and bring up points I had not heard before. Almost everyone I know is planning to vote in favour of MMP, so it was good to hear cogent contrary views.
  • The bad thing is that there is a lot of discussion about MMP and it's implications for democracy in Ontario. It is pretty nerdy.
  • The worse thing is that I rewound about six times while listening to make sure I understood what the speakers were saying.
