  • Alberta 2008 Provincial Election As Analyzed with PRP a Comparison of the First-Past-The-Post Results to PRP Results
    ELECTORALCHANGE.CA Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP A comparison of the first-past-the-post results to PRP results Dave Brekke and Ted Dean 9/1/2013 A compilation of the results of the 2008 Alberta provincial election compared to the results of PRP electoral system results using the same election data. Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP Summary To acquire proportional seats without adding seats, two adjacent ridings were made into one riding with the assistance of Alberta friend, Larry MacKillop. Eight-two ridings became forty-one ridings plus forty one proportional seats. The proportional seats helped reach a closer match between votes of political parties and seats won by them. Ten electoral areas were established to give relative closeness to proportionally elected MLAs and the voters who helped to elect them. Each electoral area had four, six, eight or ten MLAs, half representing ridings and half representing their electoral area. For electoral area results, see below. For more on how this system would work and other election results go to www.electoralchange.ca . The Riding of West Yellowhead is not included in this analysis to allow for an even number of ridings. That riding stays its present size, has preferential voting, but will not be in a proportional electoral area. 1 Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP General Comparison of Systems on Alberta 2008 Provincial Election Results All Seat Groupings 10 Seats or Less Political Party PC Liberal NDP Wildrose Green Other Popular

This conference is a follow-up to the conference we had in 1999, “Immigrant Women for the Millennium: Identifying Issues and Strategies for Change”. This conference would not have been possible without the generous funding from Canadian Race Relations Foundation and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The women’s movement has made substantial progress on a number of important issues over the past two decades. Changing Together is proud to have contributed to that success and will continue towards a fairer, more just, and more humane world for all immigrant women and their families. Numerous social, political and economic issues continue to challenge immigrant women in their search for an equitable society. Changing Together will continue working together with other institutions, agencies, organizations and individuals until the women’s agenda can be moved forward at a more accelerated rate. I would like to give a big thank you to our speakers and volunteers who made this conference a successful one. God bless you all. 2 KEYNOTE SPEAKER Laurie Blakeman, MLA, Edmonton Centre Alberta Liberal Caucus Critic for Community Development It is always a pleasure to be invited to a conference put on by Changing Together.
