Tories Against MMP

Which makes sense. The most plausible future for the Ontario Tories under a Proportional Representation system would be permanent leader of the opposition, while the Liberals make concessions to either the NDP or Green or other minority/fringe parties (an as-of-yet non-existent Northern Ontario Party comes to mind as a strong possibility) to stay in power more or less consistently, until the inevitable scandal.

So, if you're a Tory, then for purely partisan reasons, I can't think of any reason to endorse any sort of PR system - even the mixed version proposed here.
