When legislatures mirror how people actually vote, governments rely less on raw power and more on agreement.

Dark background graphic showing two human hands in metal handcuffs suspended from above, positioned at the top centre of the image. Behind the wrists is a faint grid resembling a barred window. Below the hands is a white silhouette of the Earth viewed from space. Centered text reads “PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION” on two lines with horizontal rules above and below the words. Beneath it, larger text reads “STRENGTHENS LEGAL NORMS”. Smaller paragraph text below states “Proportional systems that reflect voter preferences help build democratic legitimacy, create stronger incentives for consensus-based governance, and support respect for legal obligations at home and abroad.” At the bottom of the image is a beige ribbon banner containing the text “Learn more at fairvote.ca”. The visual symbolism suggests freedom, restraint of power, global responsibility, and the relationship between democratic systems and the rule of law.

Proportional representation encourages rule based decision making at home and credibility abroad.
