A referendum is coming in British Columbia over "first past the post vs. proportional representation". A proportional representation is an appointment for political party cronies. Tried in Italy where the same effete representatives are sent back after every election. No voter choice of candidate. Green Party favours proportional representation. Green Party is an international party bent on central control that inherently lacks transparency and therefore thought to be inherently corrupt. Green Party thinks that a centralized government run by academics is better than the free market of all voters privy to what's happening in smaller transparent processes. In Canada you already know about party appointments in the un-elected Canadian Senate.
