"It is now... true that the UK is not a regressive country, but increasingly a progressive society with some very regressive people holding most of the power."

I really admire but am disappointed that she's chosen to run for in , Britain's only constituency with a MP where she's likely to spilt the progressive vote and ensure we get a Tory instead

>the more the Greens campaign on different issues the more they become indistinguishable from other parties. Instead, the Greens should double down on the environment to engage environmental voters.

Sigh. When Greens campaign only on the environment, they're dismissed as a single-issue party.

The problem is , which limits the choice of MP, MPP, or MLA to one per riding. We need multi-member ridings elected by so all views are represented.

Our fun-house mirror of an electoral system has produced another deformed legislature, this time on PEI.

The Tories who earned a slim majority at 56% of the vote will get a whopping 82% of the seats! While the opposition parties who attracted 43% of the vote will get only 5 seats.

Winner takes all distorts our politics and policies. It doesn't need to be like this. We can have proportional representation instead.

Electoral Reform should be an absolute priority to rescue our political system from the system that delivers false majorities with well under 50% of the vote. Tom Webb explains: Erosion of Democracy: Three Elections globalcooperation.ca/2022/06/0

@KonstantinNotz Wir sollten komplett auf Verhältniswahlrecht und Listen umsteigen.
Die personalisierte ist und war schon immer umständlich.
Bei der Wahl gehen die meisten Wählerstimmen verloren.
Ist doch kein Wunder, dass die klagen will.
Die klagen wegen allem, was dem alten Männerverein etwas wegnehmen könnte.
Bei der Ehe für alle haben sie es dann ja am Ende doch gelassen, aber sie wollten ja eigentlich schon klagen.

This graphic shows how obvious it is that all Canadians regardless of political leanings support a proper review of the way we elect our governments. The First Past the Post System concentrates power in status quo parties. They often have 100% of the power usually with less than 50% and often even less than 40% of the popular vote.
