Complaining about vote-splitting while upholding first-past-the-post? Maybe the real issue isn’t the voters—it’s the system you won’t fix.

We need fair share voting in Canada. AKA proportional representation.

If only they were in a position to do something about our terrible electoral system.

Your reminder that B Higgs did not win a majority of the votes last provincial election. We need electoral reform, especially when a destructive Boomer like Higgs can trash the joint when most ppl voted against the PCs.

Alain Bard Peter Julian 🇨🇦 He never mentioned that criteria until it was clear that #ProportionalRepresentation was the clear favourite—and he needed a convenient excuse to kill it. The Libs were the only party to vote against the majority report of the ERRE. Weird, eh?

The BC Liberals fear-mongered all through the 2018 referendum about how proportional representation would allow extremists into the legislature. Now, the party is dead and this guy is a few percentage points away from a majority government.

When people talk about how they’re voting in the next Canadian federal election, I get the impression that many don’t really understand the effect that the First-Past-the-Post electoral system has on the impact of their vote. First, only the people in one electoral

I have to wonder how much father along we'd be on housing, healthcare, education, and the environment (and more) if we actually had fairer electoral systems. It's not a panacea, but countries using more democratic systems certainly seem to do better on all those issues. :/

Prioritizing safe seats highlights why we need proportional representation. Under first-past-the-post, parties focus on holding power instead of serving all voters. With PR, every vote counts, and decisions would reflect the needs of all Albertans, not just a select few.
