    Your comment is exactly why electoral reform can’t happen now. When all of the people pushing for changes in the elections really just want to make it so their party will win (or some other party will lose), it’s obvious to everyone the push for electoral reform isn’t being done in good faith, so it’s not all that different from vote rigging.

    It’s possible that the CPC might split and if that were to happen, then there might be a broad support for electoral reform. Unless that happens, it’s just a bunch of lefties trying to rig the system so the Conservatives can’t win.

    And trust me I’m no Conservative, I can just understand what electoral reform sounds like to anyone outside of the lefty bubble.

    Also proportional representation is just straight up a bad system. It only looks good from the perspective of a spreadsheet, it’s terrible when you consider power dynamics. But that shitty system is constantly sucking up all of the attention so people pushing for electoral reform are pushing for a system most people don’t want. Stop trying to make proportional representation happen in Canada, it’s not going to happen.
