Oversimplified

Dear Editor:

Voting for your representative has become greatly simplified over the years.

The prime minister has acquired authority over parliament. No need to vote for other parliamentarians. The premier dictates to the provincial legislature (See Bill 7). No need for members of the legislature.

Under the “strong mayor” system we can do away with municipal councilors. Elections for all three positions could be placed on one ballot.
