- REFORMING THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM is the goal of a new North Carolina

-
- "Got the two-party blues? Want a wider range of candidates and parties
- to choose from? You may be in luck.
-
- A new non-profit organization has been formed to promote the idea of
- multi-party proportional representation (PR) in the U.S.: Citizens for
- Proportional Representation (CPR!) . . . the British/American
- 'winner-takes-all' electoral system limits the range of voter choice
- by creating a two-party political duopoly. The only votes that count
- in such elections are those going to the winner, even if the losing
- candidate garners 49.9% of the vote. . . [with PR] few votes are
- 'discarded'. Parties receive legislative seats in proportion to their
- vote percentage, creating a freer marketplace of ideas and parties.
- America would not tolerate having only two kinds of cars to choose
- from. Why should we be restricted to just two major political
- parties?"
