Back in March I wrote why ranked ballots are better.
The "first-past-the-post" system we currently have forces people like me to vote strategically instead of voting for the person they'd like to lead. For example, those who wanted Olivia Chow to win, but were afraid a vote for Chow would help Doug Ford win, would be able to rank their candidates so a vote for Chow isn't a vote for Ford.
Our current first-past-the-post system forces many of us to vote strategically instead of for the party we want in power. Let's use my my riding as an example.
