With Duverger’s Law (i.e., in non-PR electoral systems, a trend towards a two-parties), we are running out of time to act. Canada’s 2021 effective number of parties is 2.76 - this number will decrease over time, and will eventually end Canadian democracy as we know it today.
The only way to prevent this democratic backsliding is proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
It’s just Liberal voters trying to keep Ford in power, there is no way to act. Ford banned municipalities from using alternatives to fptp. Liberals aren’t going to do anything about it
Our time to for action was a month ago making sure no one who was against Ford voted Liberal but that didn’t happen
Then you get the people who say “just don’t vote split” which as per the above should be “just don’t vote liberal”
That’s why us ordinary citizens must do something about it: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
