Sorry, my english is somewhat limited.
<p>I suppose I do not make any difference between the terms used in
<br>England, US, Australia or Canada or elsewhere...
<p>At least for me, a riding is like an electoral county, an electoral
district, a thirding,
<br>a circumscription or whatever name you would use to identify a local
unit
<br>used to elect a single-member of an assembly of representatives.
<p>For multiple-members, some use the terms super-districts or regions.
<p>The main point is that "circumscription" comes from latin and by definition
<br>it means a connex geographical region. SPPA does not use geographical
<br>definitions of an electoral district so I used the term "riding". Pick
the one you like.
<p>Sorry for the mess,
<br>Stephane Rouillon
