Wow, I never thought this would actually pass. I was 100% expecting some bureaucratic fuckery to prevent it.
Good job, NDP
Maybe some of us will vote for them in the next election
They'll get more votes but people are still going to vote strategically because what choice do they have.
which strategy overcomes giving people healthcare that actually covers their health?
honest query, not sure how to read this response, and actually jealous because I'm an american (merikafuckyeah no healthcare and bang bang vroom vroom war war) who pays out the nose for dental and my kids' braces are gonna cost bank even with 'good coverage'. :(
Unfortunately much like America we have a system that punishes split votes with this is mind the question becomes less who do you want and more who do you really not want?
Regardless this is great news and good on the NDP
Iβm done voting strategically, once Trudeau broke his promise to end FPTP I gave it up and Iβm never going back.
The strategy that avoids the entire system being dismantled. Imagine if there were five congressional representatives from a new Social Democracy Party. Because those five representatives are the deciding vote if it goes along party lines, they can apply pressure on the Democrats to pass healthcare reform. Hooray, everyone loves the Social Democracy Party.
They might take a few more seats from the Democrats' safe districts in the next election. But in a contentious district where the Republican candidate has a good chance of winning, if half the people who voted Democrat vote Social instead, the vote gets split and the Republican gets in. So many of those people, who want to vote Social, will realize that if they do, then healthcare gets completely gutted. So they hold their nose and vote for the Democrat.
struggling with this here too. hope people can overcome their slight discomforts in the face of actual fascism.
Strategic voters vote NDP, strategically voting Lib hasnβt worked
