Seriously, I hope you guys do this. FPTP sucks and I'm hoping an NDP opposition will finally make that case in our Parliament.

I have a postal vote, since I can never make it to a Polling Station.

My vote has already been cast, therefore, and should get there in good time.

And YES I reckon we need a change.

We also need people to get off their collective arses and VOTE. Maybe they will if given an incentive.

The experience of most nations is that the electorate is far more motivated when they see that every vote serves to elect someone. Changing the electoral system DOES result in better voter engagement.
