When will the liberal party pass the electoral reform they were elected to pass?

Thats the fun part, they never do. Then we Anarchists get blamed for not voting hard enough

[–] Hazematman@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Its a stretch but I'm hoping with a liberal minority there is chance the NDP could advocate for electoral reform as negotiation point. Its a stretch but I feel like its the only way it could happen.

"One vote never changed anything," said ten million people.

Yeah, so the Conservatives won with like 80% in my riding. I voted, but I also wondered why while doing it. Man, I wish we had proportional rep.

Canada out there making us feel jealous with their "multiple parties" and "meaningful votes"

[–] Hazematman@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm worried our multiple parties could disappear after this election :( I understand why it happened but I hope the trend doesn't continue to a two party liberal vs conservative system in Canada

[–] hazeydreams@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Ya I don't think it will. Also remember we started with a two-party system. Political parties come and go.

The Bloc isn't going anywhere and the NDP will likely gain seats back next election with a fresh leader, especially if they pick a charismatic one.

Keep dreaming. There's only 2 parties that matter, Nazis and thieves. Everybody else Is just cosplaying

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

The Dems threw out powerful elected officials like Cuomo and Franken.

Trump's GOP just went to the mat for an actual human trafficker, Andrew Tate.

Any time someone claims "my one vote doesn't matter" I reply with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_close_election_results

Yes, there are a lot of elections that are decided by a very small number of votes.

As the saying goes: "The only wasted vote is the one left uncast."

If somebody tells you voting is pointless, they are voting for somebody you wouldn't vote for.

I have family in this riding so I was watching it closely. It was very nerve-racking to see how close it was. It was conservative several times while they were finishing counting all the votes.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I vote in every election but it sure as hell never feels like my vote does anything at all or is even recorded.

TBH i don't think there's a way to vote our way out of a lot of our issues.
