This Texas city just elected its first gay City Council member

Voters in this city rejected three incumbent City Council members just one month after they voted to implement a harsh anti-trans bathroom ban, replacing one with the city's first out gay council member.

2024 was “the year of the election,” with around 70 countries going to the polls. But it also became the year that incumbents fell around the world. Can their replacements offer better solutions to voters’ problems? elections #incumbents #politics https://www.csmonitor.com/World/2024/1205/elections-defeat-incumbents
‘Bonfire of the incumbents’ unseats governments worldwide in 2024

Elections worldwide in 2024 saw incumbents defeated as voters registered displeasure with their economies. New leaders will find that hard to remedy.

I'd like to wrap up by saying I have a #plan to fix these things, and restore a #healthy, #vibrant politics in Canada.

But I can't.

I don't think there are #easy solutions. Starting a brand-new, national-scope political party in Canada (or in many other countries) is a fools' game. The #incumbents make it as difficult as possible to make any inroads that way. You end up having a few guaranteed losses where you actually run candidates, and if you're lucky, your party leader is elected.
