It could also be unnecessary, but it's something I think about time to time.
Also For the record by dual mandate I mean those nominated for the local single member ridings are on the open list ballot for the region automatically.

I can't see why this couldn't work for normal MMP or AV+ though I'd prefer open list for the region vote if we were to go MMP via dual mandate.
Though I'm likely over looking something mathmatical. Especially if multi member is part if it due to ridings getting as big as 7-9 as an example.

My motivation for this is mostly RUP related as I would want to expand the choice of single member districts to what would be in multi-member. Since it's cleaner for RUP to have follow best runner up for regional appointment, it can be seen as a pseudo-open list. AV+/STV+ model in mind.
Hey fellow proportional representation supporters. I have a hypothetical: how do we feel about MMP or other regional top up systems like RUP with best runner up appointment but parties are allowed to run N + 1 candidates in a riding/district?

@mayintoronto I pray for #ProRep daily and have been for longer than the decade that has passed since it was a big motivator for Trudeau’s reign. We all know what happened. It NEEDS to be implemented tout de suite!

In Canada, millions of votes are wasted every election—and it’s not an accident. It’s how first-past-the-post works.
In my latest piece, I lay out why proportional representation is the only real fix for our broken democracy.

Canadian election are ridiculously secure and give us plenty of time to vote. I have full confidence that even something as complex as STV (ranked ballot PR) or RUP can be adapted to our election with some effort. Or open list MMP if we wanted something a little simpler comparatively. #prorep

You know the more I learn about the current electoral system in Canada the more confident I am in a STV (Single Tranferable vote), open list MMP (mixed member proportional) or RUP (rural urban proportional) is viable here in Canada. #canada #canpoli #prorep #proptionalrepresentation

@pinhman @Crispius My riding is a stronghold for the NDP and I would really hope the Liberals would not waste a good candidate by running one against her. I think the NDP and Liberals should work together and not split votes needed to defeat the Cons. Minority governments work well together. The last sitting of parliament has proven this to be true. I would really prefer #prorep but….. you know.
Glad to see another Canadian YouTuber doing a comprehensive ProRep video

Hey, fellow proportional representation supporters, I have a question if we would ever get it in canada: How would multimember ridings affect EDAs? Would candidacy selection still be local, or would members collectively select multiple candidates for the district as a whole?
