Hoy is misinformed

Mr. Hoy's article on the proposed new electoral system, MMP, is full of misinformation and I recommend that every voter inform themselves on the issue with less biased sources than him. I do have to take up one of his points. He mentions list candidates chosen in the "back rooms" of parties. How are political candidates chosen now? In a free, transparent and open process? Definitely not. The worst abuse is the parachuting of candidates into ridings they don't live in, such as happened with Michael Ignatieff. In fact, parties will be required to reveal to Elections Ontario what process they used and voters have the same right to scrutinize their choices.

Mr. Hoy, get informed.
