From the blog of the Leader of the Family Coalition Party, Giuseppe Gori on the proposed system for proportional representation in Ontario:
With the new system coalition governments will become more common in Ontario and Coalition majority governments may actually enhance stability by discouraging abrupt shifts in policy that can occur in the current system.
In the current system wild swings between one government and the next created instability. These “majority” governments were seldom elected with a real majority of support from voters. In Ontario a succession of Liberal, NDP and PC, and again Liberal majority governments were elected in the past fifteen years, creating complete changes of direction almost at every election. In addition, the ability of pro-lifers to work within the established parties was curtailed, as all of the major parties converged, to garner more votes, towards a pro-choice position and all supported recent measures to introduce same-sex marriage.
I hope that finally, because of a fairer system of election, the Family Coalition Party will be a political force to be reckoned with, that the media will not be able to ignore.
