My response to the VOCM question ' Should the province continue with fixed date elections?'

I do apologize for not posting more often, but I was pretty busy with going to MUNCF (MUN Christian Fellowship) last night: we did a manuscript Bible Study of Romans 13:1-19 in the Bible, talked with a leader of IV (Inter-varsity) Fellowship, worshipped God together, socialized and ate snacks together.
Hello everyone, here's my response to the VOCM question of the day, ' Should the province continue with fixed date elections?'

"I agree with Labrador MAINLANDER when he said that the current FPTP (First-past-the-post) system is flawed: in labrador, 51.5% of the popular voted for political parties other than the PCs and yet 75% of Labrador (3 seats out of 4) are held by the PCs!

Personally, I think we need to maintain fixed election dates, while introducing three new measures: 1.Give voters 3 votes per ballot: one for which leader (or independent candidate) would make the best Premier, one for a political party list and one for an MHA; 2. maintain fixed election dates, but introduce 'recall' legislation. If an MHA is caught spending taxpayers money in an illegaly matter, allow for a 'recall by-election' to be called: the first part of the ballot asking whether that MHA should no longer be the MHA and which MHA candidate should replace him or her and 3. allow for re-broadcasts of House of Assembly proceedings up to 1-2 months after a session ended and extend coverage of the HofA proceedings beyond cable to include satellite dishes,etc.. This way, our MHAs every words and actions cab be up for public scrutiny."

For your information: you posted a comment on Garth Turner's site stating that Harper is planning to introduce an 'ombudsman' justice bill.

The actual word that has been used numerous times (correctly) is "omnibus", not "ombudsman".

Look it up at dictionary.com
