To propose that it was Trudeau's intention to fail on electoral reform is ludicrous. The 'fail' was in choosing Monsef to look after this file.

What I find laughable about opposition to Trudeau's favoured ranked ballots is that is precisely the system used by the Conservative Party to choose their next leader, and the system used by most unions to choose their leaders. The NDP uses a run-off system where the top ranked candidates in each ballot proceed to the next ballot, until a simple majority is delivered to one candidate. This is in effect producing the same result as would be achieved with a single ranked ballot.
