Cud pictures Druff vary auction room the Manitoba government won t take any Steps at the coming legislative session to change the province s elec toral system drastically at Torney general Howard Paw Ley said thursday. A Manitoba Law Reform commission report last month suggested Basic changes that could for example have combined the anti new democratic party vote in the 1973 provincial election to topple the govern ment. The nip with 42 per cent of the ballots cast won 31 of the 57 seats the progressive conservatives won 21 with 36.5 per cent of the vote and the liberals won five with 19 per cent the remainder of the popular vote going to candidates unaffiliated with any of the three major Par Ries. Current standings Are nip 31, conservatives 23 and liberals 3. At present regardless of the number of candidates the Vinner is the one with the most almost half the Las. 25. Were elected in 1973 with less than a Clear majority. The Law Reform commis Sion proposed As tentative a considerably enlarging Winnipeg s present single member Urban constituencies to embrace whole communities with As Many As five Las representing each Community. Leaving other constituencies with one la each with Brandon and Thompson possibly being expanded to multiple member Ridings when warranted. A changing the present method of simply marking x on a to using numbers to show preference among All candidates. By a Complex system of transferring second third and fourth choices the winning candidate would have the Lar Gest possible popular sup port a candidate with the smal lest number of votes would be eliminated and the second choices on his or her ballots would be transferred to the remaining candidates. When Only two candidates were left the me with the most votes would be declared elected. The commission invited comment on the proposals but chairman Frank Muldoon said none has yet been received. Or. Pawley to whom the commission reports said the working paper dealt mainly with political theory and the suggestions would t be dealt with in the forthcoming ses Sion of the legislature. However to said some technical changes would be needed in the province s elections act including enumeration procedures. These will be the subject of subsequent working papers from the commission which had been asked to review election procedures. Or. Muldoon said in an interview other papers will in clude controverted election procedures election contributions and expenses technical aspects of the elections act and methods of enumerating or registering voters. The Job will receive High priority from the commis Sion he said. Premiered Schreyer who is responsible for the elections act is holidaying out of the City and progressive conservative Leader Sterling Lyon s office said be had t yet had an Opportunity to read the report. Liberal Leader Charles he band had t read the report but he agreed with the suggestion for a transferable vote. I have always Felt that this is More difficult to understand it is a fairer method of gauging Public opinion than the x ballot or. Huband prefers the present single member constituency system however. The commission faulted the present simple plurality sys tem or single shot Bluder Bess approach on the ground that it did t necessarily reflect the opinions of a majority of electors.
