@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly, political debate in Britain is stuck on the broad category of #ProportionalRepresentation (PR). This mostly means #dHondt or the #AdditionalMemberSystem (#AMS).

#SingleTransferableVote (STV) is used in Scottish local elections, and in Northern Ireland. #STV is vastly better PR, 'cos it facilitates new entrants, removes tactical voting, and disempowers parties. Ideal for our times, and invented by a Brit: Thomas Hare.

And STV has been used for the House of Commons.

If American #psyop propagandized #BC actually elects a #populist, #racist, faith based hate government we are truly in for a civil war on the West coast.

I rarely believe the polls though, as modern polls are often rigged by Right Wing owned media to push their dream narrative.

These #Populist Conservatives can’t see that the #MapleMAGA wave is breaking in the States and will soon break in #Canada.

I’m done with the prospect of a divisive Conservative government destroying the culture we have built while forcing their Christian ideals on the rest of BC.

If they manage to win by harnessing racial hate and anti lgbtq+ narratives, #BritishColumbia has truly chosen strife over peace, division over unity and populist hysteria over sanity.

Those of us left will respond in kind. Eff these populist, hate driven politicians. Their day in the sun is done, we will not let their cancer of hate destroy our province.

This isn’t about politics anymore, it’s about a culture war supported/created by #American interests, stoked by power hungry, desperate #Conservatives and supported by washed up former #Liberals helping them attain power.

This is what happens when the BC Liberal (United) party just admits they are cosplay Conservatives and line up to stack the deck against the Left.

We now NEED #ProportionalRepresentation or #RankedChoice voting to prevent an inevitable culture war, both Federally and Provincially.

Without it we will continue to fight each other, in turn opening the door to American fascists who will exploit that divide they helped create to further shatter our country’s resolve.

Stay strong BC, I still have hope in a better outcome but am preparing for the worst. Push back the hate or end up wallowing in it.

"Wyoming’s bill has the potential to be the next great innovation in American government. PR could improve the representative nature of our state governments and allow voters to express their preferences more effectively on local issues. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for a country as large as the U.S., other states would be wise to learn from Wyoming’s foray into this promising territory."

If #Wyoming gets #ProportionalRepresentation before #California we're going to flip out. Still cool though. #LaboratoriesOfDemocracy #ElectionReform

Great interview with our friends at More Equitable Democracy about election reform. "Too many times we have seen top-down campaigns. Some politically savvy organization says, 'This is the right solution. How do we get people of color on board? Let's hire an outreach person!' People of color are not stupid, and they want to be part of the decisions being made. "

#US politics in a nutshell.

If #Americans want to prevent another #Trump, stop accepting the status quo and open your eyes to the two parties who hold control.

They switch sides when it suits them:
°Abolishment of #slavery

They both support and fund #Genocide
°#Isreal

Pretending to be anti empire:
°Illegal annexation of #Hawaii

They claimed to support #democracy
°Funded the #Pinochet dictatorship

Demand change:
°Multi party #coalitions
°#ProportionalRepresentation
°End political funding
