Q176: Before the end of 2016, will the federal government officially announce that it is seeking to make changes to the way MPs are elected?
Yes: 50%
(Introduction of a law, mention in a throne speech, or forming an electoral changes committee are all examples of actions that would count for the purposes of this question. Informal comments by ministers would not count, nor would political promises made before the election)
The Liberals and NDP have both promised to change the current first-past-the-post system if they win the next election (see articles here and here). The Conservatives have not done so. I think that the Liberals or NDP probably will take some sort of action to trigger this question if they are elected, and might even force the Conservatives to do so in a Conservative minority government situation.
