We thought we'd make a change to this week's email and also share some news
stories we found interesting.

In Canada's general election, Port Moody-Coquitlam's three way split
[[link removed]] was in the news and a group of Canada's leading electoral reformers
[[link removed]] were profiled in the press. Over in Switzerland the Green Parties made gains nationally
[[link removed]] and might enter Switzerland's power-sharing Federal Council
[[link removed]] . Online, Facebook's political advertising polcies were questioned in America
[[link removed]] and in the UK
[[link removed]] .

We've written about the recent Canadian election ourselves, which you can read
below.

All the best,
The Electoral Reform Society team
