Canada’s current electoral system is the First Past the Post method. Many voters favour this method because of its simplicity, and it is easier to understand than other systems like Single Transferable Vote. It allows voters to choose people, not just parties, creating more trust and stronger MP-constituent links. This method also rarely produces coalitions, and makes decisions easier. However, First Past the Post also is unfair to smaller parties, because less MP mean less votes, so it creates an unfair representation. Finally, because there is no need for majority, the winning party is often one not well liked by the general public, and there are many dissatisfied voters.
