  2. Hey Ontarians, and all Canadians, do you want a government that works for you instead of just working to be in power after the next election? Join the thousands supporting proportional representation at both provincial and national levels.

    A new poll by EKOS research, commissioned by Fair Vote Canada, shows 71% of Ontarians support proportional representation.

    This includes 71% of 2025 Ontario Liberal voters, 86% of Ontario NDP voters, 82% of Ontario Green voters and 63% of Progressive Conservative voters.

  3. Ah, yet another utopian fantasy where proportional representation magically saves #democracy 🦄. Because clearly, the only thing standing between #Minnesotans and political nirvana is the size of their districts 📏. Why vote for people when you can just hand over control to party mascots? 🙃

  5. Fun fact about the '3 landslide victories' that Margaret Thatcher got - in all 3, the Tories never even got a majority of votes:

    •1979: 43.9% of votes but 53.4% of seats
    •1983: 42.4% of votes but 61.1% of seats
    •1987: 42.2% of votes but 58% of seats

    We can't change the past but can change the future. The UK needs PR voting now!
