Majority governments on PEI have not served the environment well. Studies are done, reports are commissioned, presentations are made, recommendations come from standing committees, and the majority government of the day can take or leave them as it pleases. There is a better way. From October 29th to November 7th, everyone 16 and older can vote to change the way we elect our MLAs from ‘first past the post’ to a proportional representation (PR) system. If this happens, the legislature will become a place for proper debate, consensus decision making, real representation of the population, and it will be much more likely that our water and our environment will receive the attention that they deserve.

When you vote, there will be two ‘proportional’ options – and it’s important that you make these your first and second choices. To pledge your vote for proportional representation, and to receive updates on the campaign over the coming weeks, sign up today at www.PRonPEI.vote/pledge.

Please spread the word – because in order for the government to get the message, we need people to get out and vote.
