The author is a lot sloppier with this article than with the previous one. It's just spelling and factual mistakes. She tries to make an explanation of the current "First-Past-the-Post" system of Canadian politics.
She's a bit weak on explaining what the need for a new system might be. She's more enlightened about the drawbacks of the new system, though, almost as though she's arguing against it. I'm not convinced by her connections from one point to the next. For example, by saying that casting a vote for a candidate as well as a party better represents voters' opinions resulting in a stronger government doesn't quite convince me. I think it more likely that, once elected, the government will be disconnected with the voters.
She says it will be better able to follow through with its promises, have a stronger majority which is better for the province. I don't see that. I still see the resulting government having a disconnected attitude from its voters. It will see the election as a mandate to do whatever it feels like for 4-5 years.
