How will the new system affect Ontarios regions, such as Northern and rural areas?
Regional interests will be represented through the 90 local seats and through list members. Parties will have an incentive to include candidates from all regions on their lists in order to attract wide support. In countries with Mixed Member Proportional systems, list members provide additional voices in the legislature for the needs and interests of particular regions. They also provide a voice on issues that are important to all citizens, no matter where they live.
