Proportional Representation vs. First Past the Post: Highlights from our debate

The Vancouver Sun and Province invited leaders on both sides of the B.C. referendum on electoral reform to debate the future of our democratic system.
Maria Dobrinskaya of the Vote PR B.C. campaign represented the Yes side, arguing in favour of a switch to proportional representation. Bill Tieleman of the No Proportional Representation Society of B.C. represented the No side, urging that we stay with the current first-past-the post system.
Here are excerpts from their debate:
