Reminder of the Liberal's record on proportional representation: "Liberals never wanted to βmake every vote count.ββ¦ Electoral reform has become a bonbon offered at election. As far back as 1919, Liberals have campaigned on the promise of proportional representation"
Mark Carney's position on electoral reform: "open". However...
Only the Greens/NDP consistently support proportional representation.
Because it's an absolute waste of political capital to make happen if there isn't a strong movement fighting for it.
Even if there is no intention to improve our democracy, it's a really low bar to just agree that every vote should count...
I agree, but I'm not the one you need to convince, it's Terry on Facebook who spends 2 hours a day complaining about bike lanes and vegans.
Oh, Terry will be super happy when PR gives him the chance to give a couple of seats to Bernier, giving him a much bigger platform to share his opinions!
It's okay, we're just having a conversation. Stakes aren't high.
If the stakes arent high then for the love of God stop posting about electoral reform so often.
In the conversation between you and me, where we already agree (mostly) on electoral reform, the stakes aren't high.
But otherwise, yes, the stakes are high.
I apologize if my discussions on proportional representation are annoying, that's not the intention. You can choose to ignore me or even block me if you feel inclined.
