Fair Vote Canada on Bluesky

How is this democratic?

It's time for proportional representation.

#cdnpoli #onpoli

A political infographic titled 'Ontario votes 2025' compares the popular vote and seat distribution in the Ontario election. On the left, a pie chart labeled 'How we voted (popular vote)' shows: PC (43%), Liberal (29.9%), NDP (18.6%), Green (4.8%), and Other (3.8%). On the right, a pie chart labeled 'What we got (seats)' shows: PC (64.5%), NDP (21.8%), Liberal (11.3%), Green (1.6%), and Other (0.8%). The infographic highlights the discrepancy between votes cast and seats won under the first-past-the-post system.

@AlolanVulpix

all i'm hearing is "waa waa i'm a liberal i think i know everything but it's all made up but i am the only correct person in the world based on nothing at all".

words don't mean whatever you feel like. there is no democracy in capitalism.

If you believe what you are saying is true, why bother getting into an internet argument?

@AlolanVulpix

because being grounded in reality is good, so i like to encourage others to do the same.

if the contradictions of the systems we apparently live under don't matter to you, why bother talking about it? what is the point?

if you don't want to understand how there is no democracy in capitalism, then don't talk about it.

but if that does matter to you, it will help to admit that perhaps you don't know what you're talking about and have let the boss' media do your thinking for you.

what is the point?

There is no point.
