Here is the problem with our political parties privileging their political self-interest again.

With proportional representation, the lawless nature of these private clubs would be better reined in.

[Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib]

Three of our federal political parties have gone to great lengths to avoid any type of effective privacy restrictions and oversight of their data-driven political campaigning, including litigation and passing multiple laws. A new poll finds that the public rejects this status quo, and that political parties should be subject to the same rules as businesses and public sector organizations.

🌹 “More than 60 Labour MPs are urging the Government to set up a new National Commission on Electoral Reform, describing the First Past the Post voting system as broken”

⚠️ Time for the Government to get a grip

[Mouvement Démocratie Nouvelle @MDNinfo]

Refuser les monopoles artificiels, c'est redonner aux régions le respect et le pouvoir politique qu'elles méritent. Avec la proportionnelle mixte, nous assurons qu'aucun citoyen régional ne soit laissé pour compte. (4/5)

[Mouvement Démocratie Nouvelle @MDNinfo]

• Des monopoles politiques ont été créés dans huit régions, soit la moitié des régions du Québec.
• En Chaudière-Appalaches : Le Parti conservateur du Québec a obtenu 32 % des voix, mais 0 député.
• À Laval : Avec ce même score exact de 32 % des voix, la CAQ... (2/5)

Have you considered proportional representation, which takes power away from politicians drawing the lines and spurs genuine competition?

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

"This February, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the Wyoming Legislature that would have led to the state electing representatives to its lower chamber via #ProportionalRepresentation (PR)."

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

The irony is that party leadership races demand a broader geographic appeal than a general election.

First-past-the-post turns general campaigns into polarizing scrambles for a few swing ridings.

Proportional representation would make broad appeal the permanent rule.

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

Trying to fix UK democracy without scrapping First Past the Post is like trying to put out a wildfire with a water pistol.

111 MPs have already signed an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill, calling for an urgent review of the voting system.

Check if your MP has signed yet, and if not, use our tool to contact them today.

[Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 @leedrutman]

This is only a trade-off under a system of single-member districts.

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

If the next general election is held under First Past the Post, we could get a government that just 25% of people voted for.

Or we could end up in a situation where the winning party is not the one that got the most votes.

This is an emergency. PR can't wait - we need it now 🚨

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

First-past-the-post has locked Alberta into a rigid two-party map.

With the NDP dominating cities and the UCP sweeping rural areas, the provincial election is decided by just a handful of suburban swing ridings.

We need proportional representation so every vote matters.

The democratic path within confederation looks like a vote that counts.

You say, for 11 years Eastern Canada voted for more of the same.

In fact in 2021, most of Canada voted Conservative. The electoral system however gave the election to the Liberals, who got less votes.

At this point the Conservative leader endorsed proportional representation.

Conservatives also got more votes but less seats in 2019. Although Conservatives did't get more votes than Liberals in 2025, they got much fewer seats for a sliver less of the vote share.

With proportional representation, Conservative voters, all voters, would be given their due, no more and no less.

Our present electoral system divides the country.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

The biggest flaw in the “save Canada” conservative argument is this:

For 11 years, Eastern Canada has voted for more of the same.

The majority of Canadians don’t believe the country is broken, even as it becomes one of the fastest-declining nations in the G7.

There is no democratic path inside confederation to fix equalization, repair the West’s grievances, or reverse the damage when most of the country won’t even admit there’s a problem.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

Under proportional representation, legislatures couldn't recess without a true majority representing the people.

Instead, first-past-the-post lets Premiers take extended breaks whenever they feel like it to hide from accountability.

It's time for change.

[Fair Vote Manitoba @MBFairVote]

Western alienation comes from out of divisive electoral system. Casting a vote that counts would go a long way to correcting alienation. Alberta and Saskatchewan would always be represented in governments in the House of Commons.

First-past-the-post disregards votes to elect Liberals in the East and Conservatives in the West.

The United Conservative Party was formed to stop a vote split from electing the NDP. Such Frakenparties wouldn't make sense with a proportional vote.

@energimedia @DrJaredWesley

[Energi Media @EnergiMedia]

Jared Wesley: People outside Alberta do not have to agree with separatist sentiment — but they should try to understand where Western alienation comes from.

That is where common ground starts.

#AlbertaPolitics #cdnpoli #WesternAlienation

[Fair Vote Manitoba @MBFairVote]

This isn't a seat problem that only exists in Alberta. The entire country suffers from elections done by first-past-the-post.

FPTP elects too many Conservatives in Alberta and too many Liberals in the East.

Albertans, all Canadians, need to cast a vote that counts.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

This isn’t a seat problem.

Alberta is governed by a country where larger population blocs can impose laws, policies, and values on us.

When our resources are extracted, our wealth is siphoned away, and our values are ignored, that is not partnership.

That is colonialism.

[David Blain 🇨🇦🗳🇺🇦 @beachmagoo]

The governing of Canada 🇨🇦 is an electoral system issue.

A proportional representation system better reflects the will of the electorate & provides a fair outcome in seats vs votes.

[David Blain 🇨🇦🗳🇺🇦 @beachmagoo]

The European Union 🇪🇺 uses a proportional system to elect to its representatives as do the vast majority of the developed countries in the world 🌎.

Make 45% 🗳️= 45% of MPs.

Proportional representation.

[David Blain 🇨🇦🗳🇺🇦 @beachmagoo]

@EricGrenierTW Polls by @EricGrenierTW

LPC - 45% 🗳️ 210 seats
CPC - 34% 🗳️100 seats
BQ. - 6% 🗳️ 20 seats
NDP. 11% 🗳️ 12 seats

Proportional representation please.

Let’s have the House of Commons reflect how the people voted not how the electoral system distorts votes 🗳️

[FairVote @fairvote]

With proportional representation & multi-member districts, "all voters can affect elections by affecting their party’s representation.

These reforms also reduce polarization, restrain gerrymandering, & boost competition."

– Robert Levy of @CatoInstitute https://t.co/PpNR9SYpqz

[David Blain 🇨🇦🗳🇺🇦 @beachmagoo]

@MBFairVote Proportional representation solves the two biggest regional electoral distortions with FPTP election outcomes.

Quebec & Ontario.

FPTP vs proportional representation.
