Most countries in Europe, as well as Russia, South Africa, New Zealand and Israel favor some form of party-list system because it opens up the political process beyond one or two dominating political parties.
proportional representation (PR) = If n% of the electorate support a particular political party, then roughly n% of seats will be won by that party.
What is List PR? = proportional representation in which voters choose among parties rather than among candidates. Votes are awarded to parties in proportion to the votes they receive
Israel is a bad example because it doesn't have universal suffrage. Universal suffrage is a prerequisite to proportional representation. There's no point in having every vote count (PR) when half the population is not allowed to vote in the first place.
In Canada we have universal sufferage but over half our votes are wasted because of the single-winner-district FPTP distorted misrepresentation. We would do well to switch to a proportional voting system and become a true democracy.
Doesn't inspire a ton of confidence when every single different flavour of MMP System on the table has many unknowns. Perhaps these details should've been ironed out before calling for a referendum because voters still don't know exactly what they're getting into with MMP.
if they had done that people would have voted to change the system.
we explain badly, didn't helped me at all

This sounds like we would have some unelected officials and I would not be ok with that.
Elected through lists made by the political parties - well before the election. If you don't like the list of a party, vote for a different party.
This is untrue. Whether there is an open list or closed list is undecided. The premier has said he supports an open list system. This means that the people who get elected off the list are decided by the voters (like by who got the most local votes but did not get elected), not the party prior to the election.

That is true, either of those systems could be used, but the latter seems not too transparent to me, as you don't know which non-elected candidate might be elected. Hell, you might dislike whoever it turns out to be. It comes off as a way to still let electoral losers win. Instead, you might allow people to actually vote for a person within a party list, and the people with the most votes within the list get elected.
empty That would be the best ways to go. But maybe it is better to go by the percentage of votes.
The whole point of the Westminster system is to vote for your representative and not the political party. We should not be changing the way we electe people because a party receives a large popular vote.
The only change I would support is keeping it the same, but with a single transferable vote.
If your 1st pick doesnt have that much support your vote will go to the next candidate that you like and ranked 2nd. Etc.. untill somone has more than 50%
Our westminster system also promotes the usage of parliamentary whips, and strong figurehead leaders. Our westminster system was also invented hundreds of years ago for different context of the role of government and the world it operates in.
MMP also does not mean you are voting for political parties. If an open list, single vote system is used your vote for your preferred candidate does pretty much stay with your candidate. If you don't win your riding, your vote goes toward them winning a list seat.
Single transferable vote would benefit the Liberal party in federal election, as the NDP and Green supporters are much more likely to support liberal than conservative.
New Zealand uses MMP and they have one of the most pure Westminster systems of government and parliament in the world
