Some Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers won't see #ProportionalRepresentation as top priority ever. . .
Hopefully most Liberal Party members will vote in favor of this resolution of the National Women's Liberal Commission.

As the push for #ProportionalRepresentation grows in the U.S., a better understanding of party preferential voting can assist policymakers and reformers as they consider voting reform.

The most recent floor crossing in the canadian house of commons only furthers my thesis that:
1. You should care who your MP is regardless of Party Affilation & it should play a factor when voting
2. Prorep Electoral Reform must still have directly voting for candidates in a riding. (Stv, Open […]
Heard the Spanish PM lately? We expect our politicians not to compromise in opposition, because they're not in power. And as voters, we elect them to compromise on our behalf as professional politicians, so we don't need to compromise our principles when voting. We need #ProportionalRepresentation
#ProportionalRepresentation just requires repeal of a 1967 federal law:

The Fair Representation Act would do exactly that:

So, our Constitution *already* makes it possible to have a multi-party system.
#ProportionalRepresentation is exactly what we need to be talking about!

A review of the voting system for Westminster is long overdue.

The good news is that #ProportionalRepresentation doesn't require a constitutional amendment, just repeal of a 1967 Federal Law.

ProRep fixes gerrymandering in the Ugly Gerry font via https://fontsarena.com/ugly-gerry/.
Here's why PR matters for California: it means politicians can't gerrymander communities apart! No more "packing and cracking" to dilute minority voting power.
Every community gets fair representation based on actual votes, not creative map-drawing.

Great to see Premier Doug Ford finally take action on electoral reform and end the first past the post system in provincial elections for #proportionalrepresentation. #aprilfools #onpoli
Great to see PM Mark Carney finally fulfill Justin Trudeau broken promise to electoral reform and end the first past the post system in federal elections for #proportionalrepresentation. #aprilfools #cdnpoli

Little-known fact: #ProportionalRepresentation wouldn't require an amendment, just repeal of a 1967 federal law:

The Fair Representation Act would do that:
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
And don't forget the ballot initiative process that can bypass both parties.
It's time we had more viable choices to choose from and representatives that really represented us. It's time we catch up to the rest of the world in modernizing our aging political system.

#Denmark’s election shows that #ProportionalRepresentation works (& how dysfunctional #Canada's FPtP system is in comparison....), via @fairvote.ca www.fairvote.ca/31/03/2026/d...

How did the last Conference vote go on
#ProportionalRepresentation?
But of course that assumes that Labour is a Democratic Party with an agenda set by its members and representatives that carry out that agenda to the best of their ability!!!
Ignoring that St George was a foreigner who is patron saint of other countries and definitely NOT English, this racist behaviour sadly symbolises the fact that our democracy, and First Past The Post in particular, are broken

This is really something: a Labour-controlled Council backing a LibDem motion to ditch First Past The Post, and bring in Proportional Representation! Opposing official Lab policy? Only 2 Conservative Councillors voting against? #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation www.thestar.co.uk/community/yo...
