Two Notes On The British Election

-It's ironic to see the prospect of a coalition being treated with mild acquiescence in the country that is the birthplace of the Westminster System. How come it was such a big deal in Canada?

-Read this article in the Globe. Basically, John Ibbitson is suggesting that, if Britain were to adopt proportional representation, Canada would likely follow. Why? Well, that's the big question. Despite our talk of independance, we still look to mother England for democratic inspiration.
