Dennis Pilon: Myths, damn myths and voting system change

Is electoral reform really about "trade-offs" as so many academics have suggested? What about simplicity, accountability, stability and local representation?

Join Dennis Pilon as he explores how political scientists have perpetuated myths about electoral reform, and how to reframe the debate based on an honest look at history and the struggle for democracy.

Dennis Pilon is an associate professor in the Department of Politics at York University and is one of Canada’s preeminent experts on voting system reform. He is the author of The Politics of Voting: Reforming Canada’s Electoral System and Wrestling with Democracy: Voting Systems as Politics in the Twentieth Century West.

This event is a co-presentation with Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies.
