Fair Vote Canada on Bluesky

How is this democratic?

It’s time for proportional representation.

A political infographic titled ‘Ontario votes 2025’ compares the popular vote and seat distribution in the Ontario election. On the left, a pie chart labeled ‘How we voted (popular vote)’ shows: PC (43%), Liberal (29.9%), NDP (18.6%), Green (4.8%), and Other (3.8%). On the right, a pie chart labeled ‘What we got (seats)’ shows: PC (64.5%), NDP (21.8%), Liberal (11.3%), Green (1.6%), and Other (0.8%). The infographic highlights the discrepancy between votes cast and seats won under the first-past-the-post system.

    If you believe what you are saying is true, why bother getting into an internet argument?

      because being grounded in reality is good, so i like to encourage others to do the same.

      if the contradictions of the systems we apparently live under don’t matter to you, why bother talking about it? what is the point?

      if you don’t want to understand how there is no democracy in capitalism, then don’t talk about it.

      but if that does matter to you, it will help to admit that perhaps you don’t know what you’re talking about and have let the boss’ media do your thinking for you.
