The NDP had captured 26 of its 32 seats in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and B.C. with about one-third of the vote. Trudeau said he would introduce legislation for proportional representation if the NDP would co-sponsor it.<br /><br />According to well-placed sources, Broadbent said he would take the proposal to his caucus. The answer was no.<br /><br />Broadbent told the prime minister NDP MPs were afraid of losing their seats. Trudeau declined to forge ahead alone</i><br /><br />Also, in what provinces did Proportional Representation even go to a referendum? Answer: Ontario (under the Ontario Liberals), British Columbia (under the British Columbia Liberals), and Prince Edward Island (under the PEI Conservatives). <br /><br />Never hear about PR or electoral reform in Manitoba or Saskatechwan under the NDP.sharonapple88https://www.blogger.com/profile/11149226422042041129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-70775486369781866272012-01-16T05:28:44.689-05:002012-01-16T05:28:44.689-05:00Time for the Lady to go...along with all the royal...Time for the Lady to go...along with all the royal inbreds.
