Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 on Bluesky

Canada already has politicians who spread conspiracies on everything from LGBTQ rights to vaccines to immigration.

First-past-the-post doesn’t block them—it hides them in big parties that can win all the power with 40% of the vote.

Demand proportional representation.

Flowchart titled "Power of extremists by voting system." It compares how an extremist politician can gain power under two systems: First-past-the-post (top path) and Proportional representation (bottom path). Under First-past-the-post, the extremist becomes leader of a major party, the party wins 100% power with 39% of the vote, and the extremist leads the country. Under Proportional, the extremist becomes leader of a small party, the party wins a proportional block of seats, and the impacts of the extremist are limited. A footnote defines political extremism using Wikipedia and Cambridge Dictionary.

America should start touting how liberals are going to gain absolute power and bring back the good ol' days of Obama and Clinton.
