There's a new conservative-oriented group out there called the Canadian Centre for Policy Studies which is doing some interesting stuff.
And one of the interesting things they have done is release a study examining whether or not Ontarians should support a new electoral system -- otherwise known as Mixed Member Proportional Representation.
Their conclusion: Thumbs Down.
Update:
Here's some more debate on MMP.
Update 2:
Here's another study on MMP from the Work Research Foundation. They give it a Thumbs Up.
I give it two thumbs up, especially since you could start the Gerry Nicholls Conservative [alternative] party and maybe even break through with a seat or two depending on how many people support you. With FPTP, it may take years...possibly decades. ;-)
