We Need Proportional Representation Badly
We the people hold the power not the politicians just because they don’t want proportional representation doesn’t mean we’re always stuck with first-the-post.
There are many ways everyday people can be disruptive to force the liberals to do the right thing and to have more than 40 liberals vote in favour of electoral reform.
The liberals are banking on you for being cynical on electoral reform as that allows them to keep putting Canadians into this vicious cycle of a quasi two party state with minority rule that continues to enrich the powerful few while the rest of us get scraps off our labour. We need to put more pressure on our mps to do the right thing and pass proportional representation without a referendum as most Canadians already support the concept.
Conservatives know how to game the system in their favour and if that doesn’t work they cheat.
They’re against proportional representation since it would lead to more competition in the amount of conservative parties and when first-past-the-post puts them at a disadvantage they quickly fall in line to prevent splitting the vote to avoid losing the election.
Kevin Falcon was insincere when he claimed that BC United would gladly lose multiple elections to uphold their morals.
BC United was just behind in the polls and was bleeding opportunist candidates. I was hoping that they would’ve stuck in the race until they were down to at least 5 candidates. I suppose their corporate masters whipped them into line. Hopefully they cant transfer all those donations directly to the BC Conservatives since there is a limit on political contributions for every person.
Easy to say that when Pierre Poilievre got his at age 31 while not doing a thing for Canadians
