    It's actually the winner-take-all system that tends towards a two-party system. If there are eight parties running in one riding, but only one can win a seat, then people vote for the candidate most likely to win, rather than the candidate who will best represent them. That results in poor representation -- up to 7/8 of the voters may have cast a ballot for someone not elected, and when this is repeated riding after riding you get false majorities with as little as 12.5% of the vote. #ProportionalRepresentation can fix this with larger ridings and multiple candidates elected, who have to share the power (ie. coalition). !ElectoralReform

    @indi I'm hoping for the best. @MaryamMonsef started as an !ElectoralReform supporter, and I suspect she wasn't happy toeing the party line. Same for @HonStephaneDion, and now they've both been removed from their Cabinet positions. I hope @KarinaGould will stay true to her ideals, resist the Liberal Party's pressure to bury the !ElectoralReform issue, and follow through on the #ERRE committee report by proposing a form of #ProportionalRepresentation.

    @zykotick9 @cmhobbs Yes, in #Ontario provincial elections you can decline to vote, and while they're counted separately from spoiled ballots there's no practical difference. Federally there's not even an option to decline to vote, although the previous Chief Electoral Officer recommended it (along with a "None of the above" option on ballots). But if the Electoral System was working properly we wouldn't need those options. !ElectoralReform !CdnPoli
