There’s plenty to be mad at him about, but I am the most angry about this blatant betrayal

[–] ToffeeIsForClosers 12 points 1 month ago

I feel exactly the same. I will never forgive him for that. Doesn’t matter what his party does.

That referendum/confusing survey they did to justify their decision, manufacturing their desired outcome, was exceptionally insulting and wasteful.

I’m only grateful he and his party did this betrayal as soon as they took office vs much later. I feel like it would have hurt more if I had hoped longer than that.

Same. He should have pushed that shit thru. Without it, we're doomed.

Don't care what the issue is, Angus Reid should NEVER EVER be promoted.

He was wrong to break every promise but yes, this one in particular.

Do you feel that, like parliament, the numbers in a pie graph should always add to 100? The seat doesn't just go unfilled. Somebody has to get that last percentage.

Example: 80.4% + 10.3% + 9.3% = 100%, but all numbers round down.

I get that. My point is that if you had 100 seats to fill in parliament the hundredth seat would have to be filled by someone so it's ironic to see the opposite logic applied to a pie chart when the topic is specifically parliament related.
