ranked ballots will not lead to more representative governments

Perhaps not. The only thing we can be certain they'd give us would be a better voting system.

PR would be even better. And to those who complain about local representation, I say: Local representation in Canada is already a joke and you likely almost never think of it. The vast majority of votes are whipped.
