Thank you. That's very interesting.
Mr. Colas, in your book you suggest a proportional representation system. You have explained it to us in broad terms. The details are in that book, which was written after several years of work.
My question is delicate.
I get the sense that this exercise is being done in good faith. We want to improve democracy while respecting our values, and so on. We could adopt such a system. By the same token, adopting this system would remove some power from the current government, which was elected using the voting system we now have.
What would lead it to agree to curtail its own power, or to lose its majority in order to improve democracy? How could we convince it to do that? Is my vision of politics too cynical?
