Re: “Why saʴý voters rejected electoral reform,” Dec. 22.
I certainly, as we all do, accept the democratic rejection of proportional representation — knowing, however, that people have been known to vote themselves right out of democracy. But the statement by Bill Tieleman that it was rejected in part because it is “complicated and confusing,” when it is understood by the citizens of the numerous nations that have adopted it, says more about our educational system than it does about proportional representation.
