Vote for the MMP on October 10 - It’s Great for Our Local Economy
The referendum on the Mixed Member Proportional voting system is a window
of opportunity to move Ontario toward more balanced, less adversarial
politics. We’ll get stronger local representation at the provincial level.
In places like New Zealand and Germany it has meant a lot more
intelligent, consensus-based legislation on both social and environmental
issues, and has brought more women and more diversity into the power
dynamic. Good for local communities and good for the planet. Let’s do it!

Visit voteformmp.ca for more information about the many benefits of MMP.
