MMP - Mixed Member Proportional

So this is about deciding on a new voting system for our government. I am neither for nor against it, as I do not know enough about it. I will have to spend more time to read and learn about it before I can really make a good choice.

So I will cite a source for the MMP description;

One of the electoral systems you will be asked to consider during Ontario’s referendum is called Mixed Member Proportional. It is called a mixed system, because it combines two voting systems: a First-Past-the-Post system and a Proportional Representation system.
