MODERATORS
 

The community description explicitly states that this community is non-partisan. I think this is a very smart call because we'll need people with all sorts of different political ideologies to get onboard if we're ever going have a shot at implementing some form of PR.

However lately the sub seems to be filled with anti Poilievre articles that don't seem to have anything to so with electoral reform. I'm no fan of Poilievre, but in my experience electoral reform is already unfairly labeled as a "leftist" policy.

My opinion is that the most important thing we can do is help conservatives understand that PR is in their best interest just as much as it is for people on the left. It means the conservative movement no longer needs to live under one giant tent. It will be able to split into multiple parties that can then form coalitions on the issues that matter to them. Conservatives on the fringe benefit because at least they'll have some representation in parliament.

Anyway, any conservatives who are interested in electoral reform and come peek at this community will be immediately turned off by the content that's here. So please, let's try to keep posts focused on things relevant to electoral reform!

I wholeheartedly agree.

Put your comments here:

p.s. I hope we stop this childish behaviour of downvoting people we disagree with. I only down vote if I genuinely feel they are acting in bad faith (and I didn't downvote this post either).
