@Toxic_Flange I only joined earlier this year specifically so I could vote; so I don't know. But yes, I agree its pretty cool.
In any case, we'll find out this Sunday!

@Toxic_Flange Granted this will age me a bit, but I believe some kind of ranked or instant-run-off has been used after the 2003 election of Jack Layton.
Previous to that I don't recall the exact system or even if that was done in 2003 but I know that was the last one with weight votes for labour groups before moving fully to one member one vote.

@mister914 what do you think? A fair system , something that could scale country wide ?

@Tweakedenigma how do you feel about this system? feels fair or a way for it to be gamed? think it’s a good enough system to be rolled out provincially or federally?

@Toxic_Flange Depends what you mean?
If you mean for electing party leaders I believe most other parties (including provincial wings have gone this route already.
For MPs or MLAs, I don't mind this system but it would have to be done through one of the proportional methods for me to think it was a good option.
So something like STV yes, just winner take all ranked (better than today, but not good enough).
