Weird...so I added the Green Party endorsement for Proportional Represenation and everytime I select Green Party it flips to Conservative Party of Canada.

Can someone see if they can edit it and change the endorsement from Conservative Part of Canada to Green Party?

The estimated turn-out for the referendum is 41% by the elections agency. [Link]

Based on my spot analysis of returns based on retrun rates of the provincial parliament districts, I’d be surprised if this doesn’t pass.

The highest response rates are from districts that elected Green Party candidates to the Provincial Parliament. The Green Party has the most to gain in Proportional Representation system.

KInda surprised at the results. I saw the data being published by the Elections commission and turn-out was super-high in the districts where the Green Party had won. I thought this would be an indicator of a pro-ProRep result.

Apparently not.

I prefer ranked-choice to proportional schemes.
