Dear Mr. Ignatieff,
The Women's Alliance Party has written a couple of times asking that, for the sake of our future, you work together with the good people from the other parties to bring about the changes we need. My consistent request is that you examine the election system we have and that the Liberal party undertake to adopt election reforms, so that more voices are represented in parliament.
I urge you to read the Law Commission's report of 2004 on electoral reforms. The recommendations are very serious and need to be implemented as soon as possible.
I understand that a popular party would not wish to 'share' power but really, this is what democracy is all about, listening to the different voices and making decisions not on the basis of a single party's agenda, but on the basis of what serves the majority of citizens the best.
Please consider to add this essential overhaul of our dysfunctional FPTP system as a real campaign goal and go all the way. We do not need fixes but a new vision.
Good luck with your campaigning efforts.
