In many news reports from the CBC, CTV, Global and even in this paper, it is now clear to everyone, as to why electoral reform was killed. It was killed because of democracy...

Not a love for it, but a fear of democracy.

Prime Minister Trudeau took a good look around at the most recent democratic outcomes, from Brexit in the United Kingdom due to a referendum and Trump  - democratically elected in America, and saw nothing but a political horror story.

His fear of the postmodern revolution is well placed.

But hiding in a political hole, or creating one for yourself by reneging on a promise of electoral reform, will not stop the revolution from coming to Canada.

In fact, it may have the opposite effect. 

This because one of the main narratives driving this postmodern revolution, is that the people are demanding a greater say in their politics - a feeling expressed by many common men and women with their vote, that the representative no longer serves their interests.
