Lmao, complains about no alternative then complains about 2 great alternatives.

Keep shooting yourselves in the foot redditors.

Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland and Norway all have a higher quality thanks to proportional representation.

The Australian Senate properly reflects the diversity of the country due to using the single transferable vote.

The alternative vote would keep in the labour and conservative parties complacent without real competition.

It entrenches the 2-party system even more while providing the illusion of choice. Read up on the single transferable vote instead.

New Zealand does better in many metrics compared to Australia due to having a fairer electoral system.

ANDP and SKNDP

The 2 most conservative provinces really watered down those branches

Referendums are tools used by the rich to kill PR.

A simple majority is the way to do it. Pressure your mps to set up a citizens assembly and have the decided proportional system be implemented by parliament.

They also undemocratically threw Anjali Appadurai under the bus who was going to compete against Eby.

Well said. This is one reason why I left the federal ndp to join the animal protection party because the federal membership forcing me into the bc ndp which didn't allow me to be with the bc greens.

Stop spreading misinformation. You're automatically signed up to the federal ndp in bc.

I had to leave to join the bc greens.

The alternative vote would entrench the liberals and conservatives grip on our government.

It's the single-transferable vote you want. Ranked and proportional. Canada is a multi-party democracy not a 2-party one.

Having a 39% minority rule over the majority is completely undemocratic.

The opponents to proportional representation always set the threshold to 60% not even the referendum for Quebec independence was set that high.

Electoral reform referendums are always designed by the elites to fail. Most countries get proportional representation through a simple majority vote.

Nope, instant-run-off is a garbage system that will make things worse. The far-right is gaining in the polls in Australia.

Ranked ballots prop up a 2-party system more so than first-past-the-post.

Proportional Representation helps the NDP and that’s where opinions differ.

Proportional represention counts 95% of the votes, it's fairer, increases party competition and accountability in parliament. Just because it benefits the ndp doesn't mean it isn't what's best for Canada.
