Current Canadian Electoral System
SMP vs. MMP
- usually single party majority governments

SMP
Controversial Aspects of the MMP System
MMP
- complexity in calculation
- undemocratic party list creation
- wasted votes in SMP systems
- unstable coalitions
- limited voter choice: one candidate only
- no splitting of votes between candidates and parties
- doesn't produce proportional results
- high barrier of winning seats >> underrepresented groups
- greater voter choice: 2 votes >> one for a party, one for a candidate
- produces good proportionality
- more representation of underrepresented groups
