@TheEwokSlayer @thesaxbygale @David_Moscrop With a PR system, voters might be more likely to vote for parties like Green and NDP because they wouldn't have to worry about strategic voting.

A simple solution to the MMP problem of having members tied to a party.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

Systems like STV & MMP maintain local representation, and MMP can use open regional lists for direct voter choice.

Your main reason for opposing proportional representation is completely wrong—why refuse to follow the evidence?

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

What is proportional representation and how could it work in Canada?

I just want to say, there is absolutely no need for competition in health care. We don't need doctors competing. We need a baseline of excellence in care that is available to all. No sales. No discounts. No special treatment. Safe, effective, compassionate health care for all.

[OuterSpaceSloth @OuterSpaceSloth]

This is very reasonable. @liberal_party @ndp

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

A Citizens' Assembly on electoral reform has been official Liberal policy since last year.

They could strike one, commit to the recommendations, and push forward.

The path is clear—just need the political will to follow through!

First Past the Post has helped create this dysfunctional govt we're living with and it's only going to get worse if we don't have electoral reform: As Poilievre's Prospects Rise, His Smears Go Lower #Canada #cdnpoli #electoralreform https://t.co/7drLSqZZ4H

This is how it should be. It's supposed to be a representational democracy, but often in FPTP many voters go unrepresented.

A tale of two electoral systems:

In New Zealand, a party with almost 40% of the vote must work with others due to proportional representation.

In Canada, 40% can win a 200+ majority with unchecked power.

It's time for change, Canada.

“In 2015, misgivings about Trudeau the Younger faded in the rosy mist of his promises. I was thrilled to learn what was in store: 2015 would be our last first-past-the-post election...”

Canadians are still disappointed that Trudeau broke his promise https://t.co/pxlDDDKZ6c

@getprdone @FairVoteCanada A pattern emerges

[The Narwhal @thenarwhalca]

The amount of methane pollution escaping into the Earth's atmosphere from Saskatchewan oil & gas production is much higher than previously thought, according to a new scientific study. @ottawacarl examined the latest findings:

Members of Parliament all receive the same base salary — $203,100 — but some spend much less time on their feet in the House of Commons than others. https://t.co/5YcX7PNhtT

@PierrePoilievre time for fair share voting!

[Politics with Sami @politics_w_sami]

If Poilievre becomes Prime Minister, he should get rid of FPTP & implement a Proportional Representation system!

Like & Retweet if you agree!

[OuterSpaceSloth @OuterSpaceSloth]

Kind of like @JustinTrudeau and proportional representation.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

"Over 90 countries around the world use proportional representation which represents the populace more effectively. This has been promised before but never delivered. It is long overdue!"

[OuterSpaceSloth @OuterSpaceSloth]

@FairVoteCanada What do we think has kept it out so long? Even recently in BC where there was a referendum, it was voted down. Is it a case of extreme propaganda?

[OuterSpaceSloth @OuterSpaceSloth]

@beachmagoo @FairVoteCanada There seems to be a "getting things done" mentality when there's a majority, even when it's artificially created from a FPTP system. Even when they know it's at the cost of real democracy.

[OuterSpaceSloth @OuterSpaceSloth]

This looks how a representational democracy should look.

[Josh Housden @JoshHousden]

Since nobody reached 30% in that @Moreincommon_ poll, here's how the result would look in a fully proportional system

🟥 LAB: 199
🟦 CON: 157
➡️ RFM: 117
🟧 LDM: 87
🟩 GRN: 50
🟨 SNP: 17
