    This kind of thing makes me upset:

    From 338Canada

    (Also I think there was another party in 2019 because there’s 25% seemingly missing)

    I voted Trudeau for election reform but he screwed all of us by not following through.

    He chose losing to Conservatives instead of losing to another left party that day, and I will never forgive him for that…

    Conservative government does not repent Canada but we didn’t fix it when we were promised it would be fixed. At least if we had implemented ranked voting, the Conservatives would likely never be in power again.

    If they are getting 40% of the vote that is pretty mainstream bub.

    Fact is, “extremism” is on the rise all over the world. Far right and far left governments are getting elected in every continent.

    Looks a lot like the first half of the XX century. Very scary

        For one Mexico. Slowly turning into a dictatorship just like Venezuela.

        We will get to see again which is worse, far right or far left. Bets taken

      It should be 51% of the vote that a government gets elected on.

      Why should the 60% be ruled by the 40% when they’re a minority.

            a coalition is made.

            And if one party is opposed to the concept of coalitions or even cooperating with othe rparteis?

              If your party fundamentally doesn’t want to participate in a coalition, they don’t want to govern, they just want power.

              As a rule, don’t vote for people that don’t want to govern and just want power.

                That’s a good rule. It’s a shame you can’t tell people how to vote though, really.

                I agree, but the CPC has other ideas, and the pundits seem to think it’s inevitable that they’ll win the next election.

      Far left is not just communist/socialist statist authoritarianism. Anarchism and socialism out-right reject any form of non-democratic organization. Their meanings have been shot to smithereen by various right wing groups
