Tell the NDP to make proportional representation a priority!

In the weeks ahead, Prime Minister Mark Carney may reach out to the NDP to discuss their priorities in this minority Parliament.

It's imperative that the NDP tell Mark Carney that progress on proportional representation is a top priority over the next four years.

The 2025 election with first-past-the-post moved Canada even closer to a divisive, two-party system.

With first-past-the-post, or any winner-take-all system, we risk following the US down the path of deeply polarized politics, where our Parliament is reduced to two warring camps who see each other as an existential threat.

In the weeks ahead, Prime Minister Mark Carney may reach out to the NDP to discuss their priorities in this minority Parliament.

It's imperative that the NDP tell Mark Carney that progress on proportional representation is a top priority over the next four years.

The 2025 election with first-past-the-post moved Canada even closer to a divisive, two-party system.

With first-past-the-post, or any winner-take-all system, we risk following the US down the path of deeply polarized politics, where our Parliament is reduced to two warring camps who see each other as an existential threat.

A strong majority of Canadians back the principle of proportional representation, that the seats in Parliament should closely reflect the popular vote.

The strongest democracies in the world use proportional representation.

No matter where you live in Canada, you should be able to help elect an MP who shares your values. With proportional representation, results will reflect the true diversity of political opinion in every region of the country.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said on the campaign trail that while dealing with the economic crisis is the first priority, he is open-minded to electoral reform.

PR happens by multi-party agreement: when two or more parties are willing to negotiate and compromise.

A non-partisan, independent Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform is a great first step to provide feedback to Parliament about how to make Canada's electoral system more proportional.

If want the NDP to prioritize proportional representation, they need to hear from us now!

Please send a message now to NDP MPs, Principal Secretary to the Leader Anne McGrath, and the National Director Lucy Watson.

The 2025 election with first-past-the-post has pushed us closer to a polarized, two-party system.

Canada needs proportional representation, where the seats in Parliament closely reflect the popular vote and each party's supporters are fairly represented in every region of the country.

In your conversations with Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, I urge you to prioritize making progress on proportional representation in this minority Parliament.

Proportional representation is not only fair and evidence-based, it will help us move towards a more cooperative kind of politics.

No single party alone can reform our system. Around the world, proportional representation succeeds when parties are willing to compromise and negotiate to make it happen.

A non-partisan, independent Citizens' Assembly is good first step to provide feedback to Parliamentarians about a more proportional voting system for Canada.

Tackling the economic crisis must be the first order of business, but real a commitment to action to build a fair and inclusive democracy matters to Canadians.

Please make progress on proportional representation a priority.
