If only Canada had a party that would promise to make this election to be the last first past the post, we'd all know who to pick. I'm sure they'd never go back on their word for that, right?

Same here in the UK.
No matter what a party says before they are elected, as soon as they are in power then suddenly they are the ones with the most to lose from Proportional Representation, and nothing to gain. So they won't do it.
Really illustrates that political parties (at least the two major ones) are only motivated by getting in power and staying in power - never mind what is actually good for the people they supposedly serve.
The Lib Dems tried to get it through, but it wasn't voted for.
They made a lot of promises. Some of them they didn't keep. Let's just go see the trudeaumeter and have a quick comparison.
Wait. Where's oTooleMeter? scheerMeter? BitcoinMilhouseMeter?
This is a conspiracy.
Yeah, I definitely voted Liberal in the last few elections, but my vote is likely NDP in the next. I'm still very bitter about the broken promise of elections reform. I'm just pissed because that broken promise has all but guaranteed a Conservative majority next election because the "anyone but cons" vote will be split, and gain them a victory instead.
This is a conspiracy.
A conspiracy? Trudeau is the only one in that list that is PM lol
(and he did promise to end FPTP and didn't)
