~Don't we know it!

Comments

I've had representation ONCE since I moved to Oilberta.

ONE time. The rest of it, it's all been a con that I wouldn't vote for if the choice was to pee on him to keep him from burning to death.

PR gives everyone a voice. First past the post, is just mob rule. NOT democracy.

I should clarify... I was born in Alberta, but moved to BC as a kid. There was some back & forth for a while.

In late 1997, I moved back to Alberta as a young adult & have been a resident ever since.

So to have representation ONCE in the last 27.5 years... That speaks ill of our broken system.

It's the UCP obsession. If it's not fossil fuels, it doesn't exist to them.

It’s so frustrating.

IF it were Progressive Conservatives, I’d feel less anx BUT these “Conservatives” are far-right Christian nationalists with a separatist agenda.

AND the fucking “moderates” always vote blue.

I live like a hermit.
Keeps me happy and sane.

I'm a fellow hermit.

We desperately need some form of proportional representation at all levels of government. People in Alberta are some of the most disengaged in the country. People give up because those repeatedly getting elected, don't represent them.

Old enough to remember a Prime Minister who ran largely on this but abandoned it almost immediately wheb he won.

I was very disappointed

Maybe he had reason.
