IL#4

I believe that proportional representation would best serve the interest of Canada. Voting for a specific party rather than a specific candidate would better suit the average Canadian citizen. We tend to vote for the character we like better rather than the party. The people don’t really see what the party will offer because most people can’t see past the specific representative.  Sometimes the smaller parties will have better opportunities for Canada and with parliamentary democracy the small parties have no hope in getting into parliament.
If Canada would have to have a authoritarian government Canada would benefit more from a Oligarchy.  Having a small segment of society with political power would be better then and absolute monarchy and military dictatorship. With oligarchy governments there is a better chance that one person will not take all the power and destroy the economy.  I don’t believe Canada would do well with an authoritarian government but Canada has some good citizen so there would be a better possibility that a good segment of the society would guide Canada political in a good direction.

  1. Very thoughtful response, both in looking at democracy in Canada and the potential benefits of authoritarian rule.
