We are starting to see the root of the problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4556926\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A year ago, the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> made a formal commitment to put an end to the current voting system, which creates false majorities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4556927\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My question is simple. Will the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> keep his promise to make the 2015 election the last election under our old, unfair voting system, yes or no? </p>",
