Canada 's first -past-the-post system awards each riding to the local candidate with the most votes, regardless of how popular their party is provincially or nationally.
In Alberta , the Conservatives won 64 per cent of votes in the province but took 92 per cent .
In Nova Scotia , meanwhile, the Liberals took 91% of the seats with just 57% of votes.
An electoral system that more accurately reflects the votes cast could give Saskatchewan and Alberta more clout in Ottawa .
Canada 's current electoral system often prompts progressives to resort to strategic voting, instead of choosing their preferred party.
MQO used the Brazil model because it maintains voters' ability to vote for individual candidates.
