Building a better democracy

Dear John,

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 was in the news and a group of Canada's leading electoral reformers were profiled in the press. Over in Switzerland the Green Parties made gains nationally and might enter Switzerland's power-sharing Federal Council. Online, Facebook's political advertising polices were questioned in America and in the UK

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

All the best,
The Electoral Reform Society team
