All they want for Christmas is electoral reform.

About two dozen dedicated citizens braved -30 degree temperatures early Tuesday afternoon and gathered outside Yukon MP Larry Bagnell’s offices in Whitehorse.

They were there to call for the federal Liberals to make good on their pledge that 2015 would be the last election carried out under first-past-the-post.

The demonstrators marched up to Bagnell’s Second Avenue offices.

They waved placards and sang, to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas, “We just want fair elections, we just want fair elections, we just want fair elections and proportional too.”

As an early Christmas gift to Bagnell, the electoral reformers hand-delivered a wrapped copy of the Liberal campaign promise.

Bagnell wasn’t there to receive it, as he was in Ottawa for the last parliamentary sitting before the new year.

The stunt was organized by Lead Now, a political action organization that’s campaigning for a proportional representation voting system in Canada.

It was part of a national day of action on electoral reform, with demonstrations taking place outside MPs’ offices across Canada, said demonstrator Jason LaChappelle.

“We’re reminding the Liberals to keep their promise; don’t betray our trust,” he said.

“A lot of Canadians voted for them hoping it’d be the last time they have to use strategic voting.”

Julia Duchesne, a volunteer organizer with Lead Now Yukon, echoed this sentiment.

“I’d really like to be able to vote for who I want to represent me, but that’s something I haven’t been able to do a lot,” she said.

“I’d like to make an electoral system where people are better represented and actually see themselves reflected in Parliament.”

The Liberals have come under fire recently for appearing to backpedal on their promise to change the voting system that got them elected – the Liberals won the 2015 federal election with about 39 per cent of the vote.

First they dismissed an all-party committee’s recommendations that the government explore a proportional representation voting system.

Maryam Monsef, the Minister of Democratic Institutions, said the committee, which traveled across Canada to consult with citizens on electoral reform, “took a pass” on its obligations.

After a backlash from her colleagues in the House, Monsef apologized and the Liberals reaffirmed their commitment to electoral reform.

The government then released an online survey on electoral reform that was widely criticized for being confusing, appearing partisan and dancing around the central question of exactly what kind of voting system Canadians prefer.

LaChapelle took the survey and said some of the questions “seemed a bit leading.

“It didn’t ask explicit questions about proportional representation or different voting systems, which I found a bit strange,” he said.

Bagnell was recently named a Parliamentarian of the Year by Maclean’s Magazine, for being a politician “who goes to the people.”

LaChapelle is encouraged by this.

“He’s been proven to be a really, really strong MP that listens to his constituents,” he said.

“Let’s hope that he listens to us as well and is a strong voice in Parliament for electoral reform.”
