no - and that's fine, and i agree. this is one of the reasons i voted for the liberals, and did not vote for the ndp: i support ranked ballots, and oppose proportional representation and largely for these reasons.

but, it doesn't answer why they pulled the plug on the ranked ballots, which is the only option that was ever seriously on the table. and, it doesn't answer questions around what other party positions are up for debate.

my position is this: there are a handful of reasons why i voted liberal. the promise to bring in ranked ballots was one of them. so, if there were x reasons then there are now x-1 reasons and i am that much less likely to vote for them again.

the thing is that there aren't x-1 reasons, though. there are x-n reasons. and, n--->x.
