I’m positive this election reform would provide a more fair, effective & interesting government

CTV report confirms Canada’s outdated election system is distorting outcomes and tearing the country apart.

Liberals with Conservatives continue to block Proportional Representation elections, under @mark-carney.bsky.social ’s leadership.

Ranked Choice

davidheap.bsky.social•13 days ago

The Australian experience has shown that ranked choice ballots in single-member electoral districts is not an improved-- may create even worse, distorted, disproportional results.

The studies I read about various voting methods showed overall ranked choice is the most fair. Like democracy and politicians, voting methods are not perfect, it's choosing the one that does the least damage.

Which studies are those? Please post links.

mythicaldragoness.bsky.social•13 days ago

Do you have a computer? Honestly
I don't have the memory space in my laptop to keep everything that I read stored, and neither do I have hours to spend searching. I'm sure you're more than capable of running a few search terms and reading about it.

I agree with you and the last time I mentioned my support for AV, I had a bluesky account pounce all over me.

Past time to join the nations that enjoy a freír democracy.

Single most important thing we could do to stop Maple MAGA

_The_ reason I was willing to vote (from abroad!) for Prime Minister Teen Beat the first time around was the promise about fixing FPTP (which PMJT’s favoured option wouldn’t do), and I just cannot support the Liberals ever again unless they try for real to fix this terrible legacy.

anvilwalrusden.bsky.social•13 days ago

Also, why Conservative voters hate PR so much when they seem as likely to benefit from it as not is truly beyond me.

I support proportional representation

I support!

It’s time for a change!

fronknsteen.bsky.social•13 days ago

I think that PR will help Canadians to engage in politics because their voices will be heard. I don’t want to vote strategically for a party that is not my first choice

lornaarnold.bsky.social•13 days ago

Definitely overdue here!

robyngn.bsky.social•12 days ago

We need electoral reform now!

This is not a good piece. It just declares things with no evidence. I wouldn't trust what they have to say.

micahg.bsky.social•13 days ago

Get on it, please, @mark-carney.bsky.social

Proportional representation is the absolute only way to make every vote count and to give every political view a voice.
Avoiding majority governments forces discussions and agreements across the party lines, smoothening out the high peaks and deep valleys between right and left leaning policies

vromickyg.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why do the major parties fear making the voting system more democratic and just plain fair? i guess it's all about maintaining the status quo, even as that bau is ruining our home and native land, oh Canada!

mariehg.bsky.social•13 days ago

It's high time to ditch FPTP in 🇨🇦
