[fvc-wat-disc] MMP on the radio

[Adam Glauser]

There are two CBC radio shows that I often here on my way to and from 
work, "Metro Morning" and "Here and Now" respectively.  They are each having 
the major parties' leaders in for interviews.  I thought some might be 
interested to know that MMP is being discussed (albeit breifly) during these 
interviews.  You can listen to past shows to hear what each leader has to say 
at http://www.cbc.ca/metromorning and http://www.cbc.ca/hereandnow.

Yesterday, Howard Hampton was on "Here and Now", and while he was making some 
pro-MMP arguements, I'm not sure they were all accurate.  For one, he 
suggested that moving to MMP would greatly improve voter turnout, which as I 
understand it is not supported by evidence from other MMP jurisdictions.  Can 
anyone clear this up for me?
