Hey @avilewis do your old pals Jeremy and @tonymcquailgreenprogressive a favour and bring this up next time you talk to him. #yellowknife city council passed this resolution on #ProportionalRepresentation unanimously yesterday and I hear that a copy was sent to #PMCarney this morning and to minister of Crown Indigenous Relations, Rebecca Alty. You can mention that every one of her former colleagues on council voted for it. #cdnpoli #canpoli
"| encourage you to continue exploring bold ideas and practical solutions that will help build a more inclusive, sustainable, and democratic future for all."
I've got an idea how to make democracy more inclusive Mr. Carney, #ProportionalRepresentation please!
I support the voice(s) in the Canadian wilderness... near to Carney's birthplace!

So are there any chances of getting #ProportionalRepresentation now, #Hungary?
The most recent floor crossing in the canadian house of commons only furthers my thesis that:
1. You should care who your MP is regardless of Party Affilation & it should play a factor when voting
2. Prorep Electoral Reform must still have directly voting for candidates in a riding. (Stv, Open List, MMP with best runner up, DMP)

This problem has been solved, but politicians - and their wealthy patrons - do not want it. After WWII, the Allies required Germans to change their electoral system to prevent another Hitler from gaining power. They moved to a type of #proportionalrepresentation.
That should have been the signal for every democracy to look at their own electoral system, but no. And the rich oppose democracy generally, because its...democratic. They donโt want their power lessened.
