Wild that people still argue against proportional representation when FPTP has wrecked the UK and US.

No surprise Canadians want closer ties with the EU—PR brings more stable governments and fewer economic self-inflicted wounds.

Map of Europe showing which countries use First Past the Post. The UK and Belarus are highlighted in red to indicate they use First Past the Post, while all other countries are in green to indicate they use different voting systems. In the background are black-and-white photos of activists holding signs. A purple, white, and green banner reads “Make Votes Matter.” A legend explains: red = countries that use First Past the Post; green = countries that don’t.

What the people want is not the same as what the owners want.

And the wealthy owners of any country always have final say.

Which makes you question why we refer to it as a democracy when the real power rests with those with money.

I'd hesitate to even call it a democracy.
