Don't you deserve to be able to pick who you *really* want instead of settling for less?

this is a fantastic article. libs and cons (same) cling to fptp to win false majorities. i voted liberal in 2015 for the promise of electoral reform. the second time i voted lib was for carney... to avoid pp's agenda. only for carney to implement it. burned both times. never again.

What California has: winner-take-all elections and endless gridlock. We can do better!

#cdnpoli This thread on the state of post-secondary education in #Canada shows yet another example of how our public services have degenerated from 40 years of #neoliberalism. Keeping our #FPTP electoral system enslaves us to two sides of the same coin. Do different: #ProRep, #TaxTheRich.

During the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of today's #Montreal city council meeting, I asked mayoress Soraya Martinez Ferrada if her #EnsembleMontreal administration would consider #RankedBallot #ProportionalRepresentation for the next elections.

Two-party systems are pretty terrible at creating policies we actually want.

NZ shows it. Mixed member proportional, or MMP, voting works. Local MP plus party vote. Real representation. Canada could have this. #cdnpoli #prorep

An array of a political buttons from a variety of political parties. "Elections in the USA" by Marek Studzinski via https://unsplash.com/photos/a-bunch-of-buttons-that-are-on-a-table-GgnejuBM8WM.
Real talk: When was the last time your vote actually mattered in a California legislative race? Most districts are so safe that the primary decides everything.
#ProportionalRepresentation would make every vote count in every district. That's not radical—it's just fair.

Fusion allows multiple parties to nominate the same candidate, giving voters more choices and empowering minor parties to influence major ones. This approach not only revitalizes democracy but also serves as a stepping stone toward #ProRep @protectdemocracy.org protectdemocracy.org/work/fusion-...

It's time we upgrade our system to a fair one. The proportion of seats ought to match the proportion of votes.

@CraigSauve "A record number of people felt unrepresented and uninspired by the two old parties. In response, these parties ramped up their fear campaigns and called for strategic voting. But you know as well as I do that this cannot be a long-term solution: by holding our noses and voting for […]

Three panel comic strip. Top panel, man riding bike with stick in hand, "Project Montreal" logo over his face. Second panel, man bending over on bike to place stick between front wheel spokes. Captioned "8 years in gov't without enacting electoral reform". Bottom panel, man fallen off bike holding injured knee, caption reading "We lost because Transition Montreal split the vote"
When an incumbent government blames vote splitting for their loss, don't fall for it.
They had the power to enact electoral reform, but they chose not to. It's a power play they all take, and it's costing us a representative #democracy

Disappointing election in #Montreal for housing, parties still have a dated “we will literally build the affordable housing” approach.
On the bright side it’s great that @CraigSauve boldly put #ProRep on the table and that two #YIMBY members of @construisonsmtl ran in #Westmount with Jessica […]
