Canada

And this is why the LPC will never pass electoral reform (except for ranked ballot, because they're more likely to be everyone's second choice) because under full PR they'd never, ever, get another majority government despite having tepid support among the voting population. For the record, the CPC wouldn't even support ranked ballots as they're almost never the second choice of anyone (because their policies--when they can be bothered to articulate them--are unpopular, believe it or not)

For the record, no Canadian political party has had >50% of the popular vote in half a century, and even before then it was exceedingly rare. FPtP allows the LPC or CPC to sneak a majority in, anyways.

Instead they should vote for the NDP. The only party that truly cares about the biddle class.

The Liberals and Conservatives love that people believe this country can't survive another election cycle of the other.

We'll survive another 4 years of the Liberals or Conservatives. What this country can't survive is alternating between two bad parties for another few decades.

Vote NDP if you don’t want Cons to win, if voting Libs worked then this “threat” wouldn’t exist

Ugh this is what my wife told me she was planning yesterday.

Pollievre is so fucking nutty were both worried about the country of he wins.

I cannot stress enough how fucking stupid this guy is, hell take any idea that's popular at the time and run with it, like how he wanted to make Canada the crypto capital and neuter our central bank.

It's pretty fucking clear if we'd done that in 2021 we'd be fucked today. He's still peddling Bank of Canada and World Economic Forum conspiracy shit too. Yet the "fiscal" conservatives are fine with this?

So we've got the status PM quo that's overstayed his welcome by a full election cycle vs 4chan Millhouse. Great. (Oh, sorry, he took off his glasses now, is he still Millhouse?)

And the NDP are also responsible because they're sticking with Singh despite him being as uninspiring as Trudeau. They've only lost seats since picking him, but hey, why not stay the course... It's great the NDP got pharmacare rolling but the implementation is asinine.

"This means just nine per cent of the Canadian electorate is passionate about and inspired by the prospect of voting Liberal," Angus Reid wrote in the report.

What is there to be passionate about? Voting LPC to prevent a CPC government is by this point an established Canadian tradition. 🥹

The Liberal Party says "System working exactly as intended!"

Ballot reform, for fuck's sake.

Approval Voting is where you check every name you like. Most votes wins. It's genuinely that simple, and there's no good reason what-so-ever it's not the global default.

I'm lucky, in a sense, that I don't have to make this decision. The only viable candidates in my riding are the Conservatives and the NDP, so I can actually vote my conscience.

As is tradition. If you lean left, how could you vote for Conservatives?

Sounds a lot like us here in the ISA. Dems offer nothing but a reprieve from absolute lunatics. No Left movement survives or really even gets started.
