Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where. Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get representation (bsky.app)

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where.

Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for.

That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides.

              Please refrain from using curse words, it distracts from the substance of your comment.
The government is able to focus on multiple priorities at the same time. While threats of another country annexing us are high priority, it doesn't help us that the democratic legitimacy of our government aren't as strong as they could be.
And how would proportional representation cause us to not have a country? I would say that a minority governing on behalf of the majority, like it is now under FPTP, is ripping the fabric of our country apart.

Disagreement is not condescension.

There was clear condescension there... as well as disagreement I'm sure, but like I said, I stopped at the condescension. I'll never know if he had a decent point or not.
