This has been an on-and-off topic for a few years now, and already BC and Ontario have held referendums on whether to change the provincial elections. Both of them failed due to a lack of real interest, though it's obvious that we need to change from our current FPTP setup.
I am going to post my proposal for electoral reform in Canada.
Where appropriate, neighbouring districts with similar demographics/culture/etc will be combined to form multi member districts and a variation of STV would be used. Where it is necessary for a district to stand alone (territories, distinct identity, etc), the district will be left with a single member and preferential voting is used. This (to the best extent) ensures that all districts are treated equally. During a by-election in a multi member district, preferential voting is used.
Later I will post district maps (stolen from Wikipedia and Earl) and will make some changes to the districts.
