What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control... If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation. (bsky.app)

What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control.

First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system.

If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation.

Greetings from another country and good luck!

The graphic would be better if the extremist for hold of a major power in both cases, otherwise it is better for the top actually: with a small party getting a bit of representation and even a bigger party getting nothing.

Suggestion: extremist big party - majority win - still needs an ally for coalition who will keep the extremist at bay. And an actual working opposition.

Again I wish you the best on your journey, the whole world would benefit im convinced.

If it's a glorious day for Canada, it will be for the world. And getting PR would be a glorious day for Canada!

I'm from Germany, so we've barely dodged total doomfall a few weeks back thanks to not having winner takes all.

Still a shit show in my opinion but it could be so much worse...
