and I’m giving a speech to my Toastmaster’s International club
at that time. What about inviting Conservatives who now,
according to the poll sent to the Fair Vote list, are 70
percent in favour of electoral reform. They see how first past
the post gave the Trudeau Liberals far more seats than the
Conservatives despite the Liberals attracting one percent
fewer votes. Cathe Campbell PS Christmas party will help
Fair Vote members to network, team build and talk politics<o:p></o:p></p>
