OTTAWA — Avoiding the inevitable partisan conflicts on electoral reform, all parties have unanimously agreed to change the first-past-the-post voting system to random selection based on a giant spinning wheel.

“We have heard that many Canadians find our current system of voting out of date and completely boring,” announced Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef in the House of Commons. “That’s why I am proud that all five major parties who sit in this House have agreed that spinning the Wheel of Democracy will put the thrill back into voting.”

Every Canadian elector will exchange a ballot for one turn at rotating the multi-coloured disc and have a 10% chance that the arrow will land their choice.

“To ensure that they system is accountable, the wheel must rotate a full 360 degrees before their choice can be counted,” added Monsef. “Just make sure you don’t land on ‘dictatorship!’”

“Sure, there is still room for strategic spinning in this system,” explained NDP critic for Democratic Reform Nathan Cullen. “But this is way more fun than that boring proportional representation we’ve been calling for. This system will finally get Canadians cheering about the democratic process.”

With an added incentive of a bonus vote, lucky participants will also have a chance to advance to the Showcase round where citizens will have to use their best procurement and economic knowledge to balance the federal budget.
