Action Update: Proportional Representation Motion Defeated

Posted on Friday, October 03 at 09:19 by sthompson
According to the Dominion blog, "The motion was defeated with 76 Yeas and 144 Nays. Predictably the NDP and Alliance voted Yea and the Liberals voted en-block Nay."

Vive le Canada had joined other groups in calling for support of the motion--see:
Final proportional representation action alert
Say YES to proportional representation!

Thanks to everyone who wrote their MPs or signed the NDP petition. Let's press on--other parties can still raise a new motion on this issue, and the more grassroots support there is behind it, the more even the Liberals will have to take notice.
