Time to pull out that electoral reform idea you've had in your back pocket for the last 8 years.
Seriously, if there was ever a time for something like that, it's now. The CPC seems poised to take a landslide victory in the next election. We might be able to avoid that looming disaster by making a vote against Trudeau not equate to a vote for polievre.
Nobody is 'poised' to do anything. The next election doesn't need to happen until the back end of 2025. Thats more than enough time for the Liberals to do what they do best and convince everyone that, bad as they are, they're the only safe choice.
I hate this country's politics. Voting our leaders should not be about the least bad option.
You're not gonna lie any other country's politics then, either.
Some countries actually have politcal debates about the positives a leader will bring rather than the negatives the oposition will. Some countries have even had leaders step down when their policies left their politicians or citezens too divided.
True. Things have gotten worse, though. I remember being fairly shocked by the first Harper campaign, the depths they went to amplify anger towards the Liberal party. To be fair, the Liberals had it coming and needed to be replaced, but they needed to be replaced by the Tories, not the Reform party (which is what the Conservative party was and is)
