At the time of the referendum, I spoke to the folks at Fair Vote Ontario and said I thought there was a fundamental problem with the way the question was being put. They were supportive of what I said, but there was no way of incorporating the idea that the issue is not really MMP versus first-past-the-post. There are other alternatives, such as the STV option, which was looked at in British Columbia. I believe it would be helpful to have a preferential ballot in which you could rank your preferences and then assign your rankings as your preferred option drops off the ballot. It's the system used in some Australian elections. It's used to elect the leaders of a number of parties.
I think it's a good idea, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. It might very well be a bad idea. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on the idea of preferential ballots in a world where there are more than two potential options.
