Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 on Bluesky

The far-right hijacked the GOP and gained power in the U.S. thanks to first-past-the-post.

Proportional representation prevents hostile takeovers—no group gets outsized influence without real voter support.

Flowchart titled "Power of extremists by voting system" comparing first-past-the-post (FPTP) and proportional representation (PR). Under FPTP: an extremist politician becomes leader of a major party, the party wins 100% power with 39% of the vote, and the extremist leads the country. Under PR: the extremist becomes leader of a small party, wins a proportional block of seats, and the impact of the extremist is limited. Asterisks define a political extremist as someone with beliefs far outside the mainstream.
