I'm not a Liberal or member of any political party, however, In 2021 PM Justin Trudeau said #rankedballot is his preference because it makes for less-divisive elections and I now agree with him. ⤵️

We were pleased to sign on in support of Vote16's motion brought by Dianne Saxe to Toronto City Council.

We're big fans of small changes that can make for better elections, & getting people engaged earlier will keep them engaged later. Let's add their voices.

It’s obvious from the Ontario #election results that we need 3 things to change:

• #Merge the #NDP & #Liberal
• Switch to #RankedBallots
• Broaden #Civics Education

This isn’t unimaginable - it just takes leaders prioritizing community needs over all else. 🇨🇦❤️

In such a system, also called "alternative vote," if one person didn't get a clear majority on the first count, second-choice votes would be counted until someone got more than 50 per cent support. #RankedBallots #elections #Canada

Zohran and Lander are at the top of my rank choice vote, probably followed by Adrienne Adams, Jessica Ramos, and Zellnor Myrie in some TBD order. Basically what WFP is endorsing.

On le sais déjà, notre système politique ne fonctionne pas. Il ne représente pas la population de façon équitable et juste.

Et si on réformait notre mode de scrutin pour un scrutin préférentiel?

Good 🧵
FPTP should go, and I agree #rankedballots are the way to go. More representative of the general leanings of the electorate. And simple to understand for voters.

Of course, #JustinTrudeau was never a fan of #ProportionalRepresentation. When he spoke of ending #FPTP he meant replacing it with #RankedBallots which in the current electoral climate would have locked in #Liberal governments for decades. His views haven't changed www.saltwire.com/prince-edwar...

#Rankedballots are simple to comprehend and not at all confounding like the #ProportionalRepresentation #PR or #PROREP or #ProRep options.
Proportional representation #ProRep AKA #PR is a voting system I will never support ⤵️

An electoral system with #RankedBallots would eliminate the need for progressive parties to merge in order to defeat the regressive #Conservatives.

Voters ranking candidate choices would allow progressive values to win elections. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...
