text: I'm a little disappointed, but I think all would agree it's not wise to proceed on a change to the  voting system without widespread public demand. 
  
  In terms of  overall democratic reform, I hope all parties continue to look at the workings of Parliament and the PMO, with the goal of increasing the ability of individual MP's to speak their minds and re-energizing the principle of the supremacy of Parliament. 
  
  We also need to look again at party financing, hopefully reinstating the $2 per vote subsidy,  to reduce (at least somewhat) the need for constant fundraising with all its associated ethical issues and its ugly feeding of hyper-partisanship in our politics.
