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

The recent actions by the provincial premiers to break down interprovincial trade barriers is a great example of how coalition governments can work with a Proportional Representation system of government. #edmontoncentre #edmonton #cdnpoli #makeeveryvotecount

In our First Past The Post (FPTP) election system, this riding below is typical of the results.
60% of voters in this riding have no representation. Sadly, their votes don’t count.
This outcome leaves people frustrated. We need to change the way we vote. #MakeEveryVoteCount #edmontoncentre

Why did the two biggest parties say NO on a vote for doing research into electoral systems used around the world? They’ve never had to share power, and the current system allows them to govern with no accountability. They put party before country.

Meanwhile, Germany just had an 83% voter turnout in its own winter election.
When a proportional system ensures that every vote directly translates into representation, people show up for democracy!

If @maritstilesndp.bsky.social & the Ontario NDP want to stand out from the Liberals, they should amplify their support for proportional representation.
In an election full of concerns about wasted votes & strategic voting, promising to end both should be a slam dunk!

The next big idea to move Canada forward was making sure all votes count the same.
Make 2025 the last election under FPTP.

A reminder that EU elections use proportional representation, and if we joined, we’d be the only country in the EU still using first-past-the-post.
The last EU country to use FPTP? Well… we all know how Brexit turned out.
