The new Yukon Party government says it won’t commit any more time to the question of electoral reform.

A motion from the Yukon NDP renewed the topic in the legislative assembly on Wednesday. The motion asked the government to drop the current first-past-the-post system, and replace it with a ranked-ballot system. 

During Wednesday’s debate, Yukon NDP Leader Kate White said this would honour the results of the plebiscite on election day that saw 58 per cent of voters say yes to a ranked ballot system.

“Yukoners want to do something different,” White said. “They want to have a system that is more representative of their voices.“
