The seat make up would look more like the left if we had a more fair and accountable proportional representation over the obsolete first past the post.

MODERATORS
Its the same "power corrupts" story again and again. Karina Gould gave an impassioned speech on electoral reform (http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/house/sitting-64/hansard#Int-8963139). But after replacing Maryam Monsef as Minister of Democratic Institutions, her views suddenly became far more simplistic. In a 2017 interview on CBC's Metro Morning, she was asked "Why is it important that people at the very least believe every vote counts?". She replies "Because they do. β¦ We literally count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, up to the majority that wins."
