That's not a coincidence. These systems push governments to serve everyone, not just swing ridings.

It's time to make every vote count here too.

A graphic with a bright yellow and blue radial background and a cream coloured panel. The headline reads “The World’s Happiest Countries use Proportional Representation.” A ranked list shows Finland first, Iceland second, Denmark third, Costa Rica fourth, and Sweden fifth, each with a small flag. A note at the bottom says Canada dropped to 25th from 18th last year. The source is listed as the World Happiness Report 2026 from the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre.

Interesting Aussie was above NZ last year.

I'm surprised that we are ranked so high as our current government isn't doing us any favours, especially our health care which they are aggressively trying to privatise.

Our Vote (Mixed Member Proportional) is a good system, but I think it could still be tweaked a little. It still favours the larger parties to the point we have a main centre left and centre right party with smaller parties either side. The problem being if a party doesn't reach 5% of the vote or win an electoral seat, they're not represented.
