### Seed comments
We setup the initial consultation process with a set of seed comments to kick-start the conversation. These seed comments were derived from statements mentioned in the MPs reports from their respective town hall meetings on electoral reform which can be found [here](http://www.parl.gc.ca/Content/HOC/Committee/421/ERRE/WebDoc/WD8405589/Members_Reports-e.html).
### How commenting works
We invite you to share your own perspectives. Once you have expressed your agreement/disagreement or passed on all statements, feel free to submit a statement of your own if you feel that it is an essential piece to the national conversation about electoral reform.
### Why moderate the conversation?
We are using a moderation process where all comments will first be approved before being visible to other visitors of mydem0cracy.ca. We are using this moderation process to reduce repetitive statements and to assure all statements are relevant to the conversation. We will release all submitted statements as part of our open data policy in order to be as transparent as possible about how statements were moderated. (We are [working on making this more real-time](https://github.com/CivicTechTO/MyDem0cracy.ca-site/issues/12).)
about: |
A healthy democracy requires that Governments listen to citizens in order to make better decisions. This initiative aims to hear from as many Canadians as possible in a national conversation on electoral reform.
Our approach will collect our voices in a real-time, coherent and open ended way while allowing you to agree/disagree or pass on what others have already said. We hope to provide a greater ability to listen to the diversity of opinions across the country while avoiding the echo chambers of typical social media engagement.
The goal of this parallel public consultation process is to have a large-scale conversation where participants can listen, share and learn from others’ viewpoints. We hope the debate evolves in such a way such that consensus statements allow this conversation to move forward in a productive and actionable way.
Basically, we'd like to build consensus through conversation rather than continue to yell at each other from across the table.
intro: |
**The Government of Canada has been thinking about electoral reform, and talking to citizens about it.**
We hope this citizen-run website can be a place to improve the ongoing conversation among citizens, complementing government efforts.
* [References](https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/MyDem0cracy.ca-Ok9XFJWtBNL1OmX1Xua0e) on electoral reform. (All are welcome to contribute!)
* How to **Vote**
* If you don't know, or think it's a badly written comment, just _PASS_.
* How to **Comment**
* Best to view all existing comments before adding new ones.
* Please click “Share your perspective…” to add your comments.
* Your "perspective" can be either feelings or facts -- start with "I think..." or "I am..."
* Comments should be standalone. They shouldn't respond to other comments.
* For complicated perspectives, please split them into simpler comments. These will be easier for others to vote on.
* Do not use questions.
* But what are the **goals**?
* In a general sense, the goal is understanding our fellow citizens.
But more concretely, we as citizens can use this to tease apart the
debate and **discover new and unexpected _Majority Opinions_**.
Comments shared by a majority carry the most weight, and so would be
most impactful to pass along to representatives.
_Note: This system is not for counting the number of people holding each opinion, but to understand both the diverse “opinion groups” and also the “majority opinions” shared by all. It's about understanding consensus. People with the same opinions are represented as a single group. We welcome everyone to share their views._
For further information on the who, what, where, when and why, please see [our FAQ](/faq).
