Electoral Reform committee  Yes, I am getting there. I'm almost done, Mr. Chair. Contrary to the ideas expressed, the proportional system, such as the one in the Netherlands and Italy, is just as stable as our current system, and all voters can vote for the party that represents them best. If the system does not change sufficiently to represent my ideas, I personally don't see why I would continue to vote and legitimize a system that no longer has any legitimacy.

Electoral Reform committee  Thank you. When we are trying to define what democracy is and to separate highly democratic states from less democratic ones, we first look at the representation system a state has chosen for itself. Therefore, the key criterion for assessing the democratic nature of that representation system is the representativeness of Parliament relative to its voters.
