Compare as an example the quality of questions and their inherent biases:
The former asked people to rate how much they agreed with statements like
Independent candidates should be able to be elected to Parliament
The current electoral system adequately reflects voters’ intentions
Seats should be allocated in proportion to the percentage of votes received by each political party
Voters should elect local candidates to represent them in Parliament
The current electoral system should be changed
Whereas the latter asked more loaded questions:
There should be parties in Parliament that represent the views of all Canadians, even if some are radical or extreme.
Governments should have to negotiate their policy decisions with other parties in Parliament, even if it is less clear who is accountable for the resulting policy.
It is better for several parties to have to govern together than for one party to make all the decisions in government, even if it takes longer for government to get things done.
The answer at the time was that they held a poll and people voted for what we have now
Probably worth distinguishing the cross-party ERRE survey from the LPC push-poll that was mydemocracy.ca.
