@enobacon
addendum:
the #USA is a 2 party system due to shitty #FPTP (unlike FPTP #UK or #Canada with #parliamentary systems that lend third parties stability)
meaning it's just math
if we removed all the corruption ...

People who want #ElectoralReform find another reason in every election to support their position. When I look at the #Quรฉbec election, I think we should be reasonably pleased with the results #FPTP has delivered:
* an unpopular party ejected from power (possibly ushered to oblivion)
* a new [โ€ฆ]

#fptp really sucks, being forced to vote against the worst rather than vote for the best. How do you guess how the progressives in your region will vote?

Fuck #FPTP
#STV now

I favour replacing #FPTP with #SVS ( #SupplementaryVoteSystem), a similar system, limited form of #AV used for #EnglishMayoralElections, could be implemented relatively quickly, people are familiar with it, then see how that works out.

@jfmezei I think this election shows that #FPTP tends to give good results. It's very effective at throwing parties out of power.

The United Kingdom and Belarus. The only European countries left, who have #FPTP. #r4today #MichaelGove

โ€œWe will all have failed in our public duties if we carry on as we are and open the door of No 10 to a divisive government on less than 30% of the vote,โ€ Burnham said as he argued passionately against the first-past-the-post electoral system.โ€ #FPTP #ProportionalRepresentation #r4today

The constant state of flux in a endless pursuit of power and majority control that we see for elections at the provincial and federal levels is the clear indicator that #FPTP does not work.

Time to work towards #ProportionalRepresentation

It requires complete disruption of political status quo which no one is willing to lead.

End #FPTP, bring adhocratic evidence based direct democracy.

They might be right - Sure hope so! #ProportionalRepresentation locks in at least some influence from voters whereas #FPTP allows elites to ignore ordinary people in so many ways and that's the core reason living standards have plummetted whilst a small clique get fabulously wealthy

@timlow3.bsky.socialSep 3, 2026, 6:03 AM

Replace #fptp
