First, the <a data-HoCid=\"214316\" href=\"/politicians/maryam-monsef/\" title=\"Maryam Monsef\">Minister of Democratic Institutions</a> announced eight principles to guide electoral reform, but then, poof, a couple of weeks later, those principles were magically down to five. Now the minister thinks that the broad buying of Canadians on electoral reform equals stacking six Liberals MPs on a committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4394702\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the Liberals finally cut the charade and give 30 million Canadians a direct say through a referendum?</p>",
