So crazy that the Conservative Party still has 144 seats given that they've basically signed on to a policy of foreign occupation.

Feels like I'm watching liberated France send Philippe PΓ©tain back in as the Loyal Opposition with 40% of the vote.

PP gone forever? Or is CPC somehow going to give him another seat so he can stay leader?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The latter. This ghoul is not going away.

Yes, that's where the drama will unfold next. Will there be a civil war, and how many factions will be involved?

If Canada had Australian-style preferential voting (i.e. you numbered your candidates in order of preference, and if your first choice got eliminated, your vote cascaded to your second, and so on until it was tallied for your least-disliked of the two leading candidates), the Liberals would have a significantly more comfortable margin (assuming that they got most of the Greens’ preferences and at least half of the NDP)

I believe the whole world would be in much better shape if everyone handled elections like Australia. We certainly wouldn't have had Trump ever here. When more people vote the Democrats win every time.

I strongly support mandatory voting. If you're against voting at all for whatever reason, just turn in a blank form. And I'm no big fan of the Democrats, but they wouldn't be kidnapping people to send them to concentration camps.

We were supposed to get election reform after the liberals won in 2015 and I'm still quite bitter about it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You will never get it top down. The major parties all prefer and benefit from different systems.

If you truely care about electoral reform your best bet is bottom up. Start getting your preferred form into municipal elections. We almost had that in Ontario until Doug showed up and fucked us.

Well I'm sure they'll change the status quo that favors them this time.
