More information is coming out about the Dion/May deal:
Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has agreed to explore reforms to Canada's electoral system as part of his non-compete agreement with Green Leader Elizabeth May. However, it's unlikely Liberals, who've long benefited from the first-past-the-post system, will endorse the kind of proportional representation championed by many Greens as a means of finally gaining a toehold in Parliament.
"Our party is open to discuss electoral reform. We're not sure where it will lead us, but we agree that the current system has some shortcomings," Dion said in an interview.
So, we now know the deal was about more than just a two-riding non-aggression pact. There has been surprisingly little media scrutiny of this deal and its contents.
What else was agreed to? Was it put on paper? Will it be released publicly?
These questions needs to be answered.
