First the moderate BC United collapses and now the right-wing BC Conservatives splinters off into a extremist far-right party in the making. Do we really want to keep allowing the first-past-the-post system to continue to hide extremists behind the 2 big tent parties when we can instead have more transparency in our democracy.

Join !fairvote@lemmy.ca so we can end this nonsense!

I did join fairvote. Why do we resist proportional representation? Seems like a no brainer.

Thanks! In a time of uncertainty, you are help building a stronger Canadian democracy!

I ask myself this about every other day. I echo the sentiments from this comment: that there is a massive disinformation campaign on PR.

The powerful few are very persuasive with disinformation campaigns to fearmonger people into accepting the broken first-past-the-post over the much fairer proportional representation 3 during our 3 referendums. Most countries get pr through multi-party support.
