And for letting us down on proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
That was defintely the beginning of the end for Trudeau. And lost him all the young voters.
Proportional representation is not the answer because the party system does not work to begin with.
But proportional representation does not require political parties to be a part of the electoral system.
See single transferable vote (STV): A Simple Guide to Electoral Systems. It's still a work in progress, but lays out a good framework for discussing electoral systems.
I never said proportional representation requires political parties. I said, and I quote, "Proportional representation is not the answer because the party system does not work to begin with." meaning the system PR is being tacked on to doesn't work and we aren't fixing anything switching from FPTP to PR if we keep the party system.
The party system is the single biggest issue with our Politics. It prevents independents from ever being elected and allows a few parties to control the entire political landscape and narrative.
Which is why the entire history of Canada has been Conservative Government, Liberal Opposition or Liberal Government, Conservative opposition on a federal level excluding that one time because the right old white guy lead the NDP.
The point is we need a complete overhaul, and not a tune up so electoral reform should mean the entire system if we are going to go through with it because it is a huge undertaking.
I also do not need to have you pretentiously offer me "simple guides to political systems" because I think you are wrong.
You only think they were going to choose the most complex voting scheme out there.
Can you explain more? What voting scheme did you have in mind?
