It's ironic that Mike Lemay's concern is addressed in the letter before his. Or, given the importance of the issue - both to him and to the country as a whole, he could have done a bit of research himself before commenting.

He seems unaware that the most promoted form of voting reform, Mixed Member Proportional Representation, does not do away with local MPs.

It's quite sad that voters make up their minds before informing themselves. You would think that if the issue is so important to them they would want all the information available on which to base their decision.
