Proposals for legislative reform in New Brunswick : Propositions de réforme législative au Nouveau-Brunswick

Voting numbers are in decline in New Brunswick. The reason most often cited is the electoral system's inequitable translation of votes to seats, as has been readily apparent in recent provincial elections. Citizen frustration with the current electoral system is not the only reason people have stopped voting. Much of the public believes that, once elected, MLAs are absorbed into a mysterious and complex machine of party politics and legislative procedure, and as a consequence lose their voice.
