What this country really needs is proportional representation.
We had a chance at a version of it, but we blew it.
I drank the establishment kool aid at the time and voted no on AV
It's honestly one of my biggest life regrets
Alternative Vote wasn't proportional representation though. It's basically just like having a whole series of head-to-heads under First Past The Post. It didn't actually solve the fundamental problem which is you end up in a situation where most of the people are unhappy with the result.
It was a step in the right direction. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good
That's like saying that being stabbed is better than being shot.
The problem was it would have shut down any discussion of any other political change since they would just go "oh we already changed it".
tbh, i think being stabbed probably is better than being shot
Proportional representation, constitution and a proper separation of powers.
