Whatever you think is best in life, it’s probably better with #proportionalrepresentation. Now who’s ready to help me put up 5000 door hangers in #yellowknife?

Honest Government Ad | Canada Election 2025

The Canadien Government has made an ad for the coming election, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.
If #markcarney wins this election it, will be because millions of progressive and centre right Canadians have lent him their votes as a compromise in a moment of national emergency. He has an incredible opportunity to show real leadership and reward the trust of Canadians by moving ahead with the citizens’ assembly on electoral reform. He can be the one who breaks the cycle and makes sure Canadians are never put in this position again. 75% of us agree, It’s time for #proportionalrepresentation.
> I'll never, ever vote for a party that does not stand for electoral reform. That is my one issue.
I must have pounded on the "Favorite" icon 50x but the counter only goes up by one...
@ManyRoads are you therefore a #Republican? * 'Because of the two party system, or do you think neither party is any good, (which they are, seen by the quiët and mild #opposition of the #Democrats in #congress)? US elections are mathematically complicated! German and UK are too, BTW. Dutch elections are much more simple to understand because of the #proportionalrepresentation

If you're in the LA area on Saturday March 29 and you want to help build a better, more representative, multi-party democracy in California, please go to the ProRep Coalition's Rally for Democracy! I can't go because it's far and we don't have high speed rail. Yet.

"We need to break the two-party doom loop and support multiparty proportional representation. But we also need to build up faith in each other. We need to invest in new ways to work together, towards common purpose. We need healthy political parties, locally rooted. We need civic organizations that engage in big collective projects."

#RankedChoiceVoting would produce #ProportionalRepresentation in the legislature. The same voting system could choose the correct* winner in an election with just one winner, such as a head of state. So in that sense they're completely compatible.
*The result is correct if the winner is the candidate who would have beaten all the other candidates in a one-versus-one contest.
@fairvote @paige my #proportionalrepresentation plea to #markcarney from crispy cold Yellowknife. You can do it Mark!

I hear ranked choice ballots totally fixes this and no need for all that complicated counting stuff.
Here's how wonderful the First Past the Post voting system is that Canada, UK, & the US depend upon for our semblance of political democracy....
Trump is able to do all that he is doing now because although he got less than half the votes cast in 2024, he got 1.5% more votes than Kamala Harris.
#ProportionalRepresentation or die.
Thanks @cabinradio for taking the time to talk to me about #proportionalrepresentation. It’s more important now than ever. #yellowknife locals hit me up at Birchwood this evening to learn more and talk about how we can put the pressure on our govt to abandon our antiquated electoral system. https://cabinradio.ca/225504/news/politics/an-excellent-time-to-talk-about-proportional-representation/
For the 3rd time Doug Ford has won “Being the only party on one side of the political spectrum”
Congratulations Doug for not having a split vote. Keep breathing and generally not doing anything that would upset your side so we can make it a 4th in 2029!
