#proportionalrepresentation — Public Fediverse posts

Westminster is in free fall and Northern Ireland keeps paying the price. Another leader won’t fix a broken system - we need PR, real accountability and politics that puts people first. Join us. 💚 https://greenpartyni.org/join #GreenPartyNI #ProportionalRepresentation #HopeIsHere

This week I have learned that Malta and Ireland are both using the Single Transferable Vote method in national elections. I knew that e.g. Northern Ireland are doing it, but I was only aware of Australia doing it at the sovereign level.

#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

reincarnation of the 1940's #US #Fascist party (#AmericaFirst) did, in contrast, win the congressional majorities (Senate: 53/47, House: 220/2015.)

This was enabled by a dualistic, unfairer #ElectoralSystem, the #US' #WinnerTakeAll system.
In contrast to a variant of the puralistic, fairer system of #ProportionalRepresentation.

Here is a comparison to the US system of #WinnerTakeAll (or #FirstPastThePost in the #UK:)
