FPTP, PR & MMP

In the upcoming Ontario election voters will have the unique opportunity (well, BC and PEI have done it, so not so unique) to vote in a referendum on a new electoral system. The Ontario Citizen's Assembly is recommending a Mixed Member Proportional system. Under MMP Ontarians would elect 90 riding MPPs the way they currently do. Then there would be 30 additional representatives from party lists to even out the legislature to match the popular vote.

I'll talk about it later, but what do others have to say? Well, The National Post says "You know, Hitler liked proportional representation..." and Andrew Coyne responds "WTF?"
