Is Ontario First-Past-the-Post? Because if it is, no surprises there.
Ranked choice now, please.
I’m down for proportional representation (PR) for voting in elections, with each voter having a single transferable vote (STV).
There are many voting systems. PR is nice, but almost any of them would be better than FPTP.
Yes it is, further our current premier made it illegal for municipalities to use other voting systems because he doesn’t want people to understand them (London was going to use ranked iirc)
Why would the political leadership change an election system in a way that would hurt their odds of winning reelection?
It's even worse for Americans... Most of us DO vote against our own conservative party (as a unified, majority group), and yet we still deal with them running our government.
I understand that a lot of our bullshit bleeds into Canada these days as well... We're sorry our worst are doing that. We don't send the best ideas or people up there, clearly. Just a bunch of racist, xenophobic, bad hombres.
