Statement:

Canadians are done with the first-past-the post system as it favours the powerful few over the needs of the many, forcing folks to often choose between 2 bad choices at the ballot or their vote is spoiled. We cannot continue with first-past-the-post as it enables corrupt politicians to vote against a fairer electoral system that would represent 95% of the vote instead of 40%. Canadians deserve a electoral system that will allow them to vote for their favourite candidate and to hold the government accountable without having to vote for the most popular opposition in order to fire the corrupt MPs of the government.

We need to build up the pressure and force the corrupt MPs to listen to the voices of everyday Canadians.

Here's what you can do:

Send a letter to your MP and demand they support proportional representation and advance electoral reform immediately. (Letters do not require stamps)

Use Open Parliament to watch their next moves.

Use 338Canada to watch the polls.

Protest against them on the streets.

Hold strikes demanding proportional representation be passed without a referendum, try to push for a national general strike.

Vote them out.

Bring the topic of proportional representation up when meeting with them in person.

Talk to your family, friends and neighbours about proportional representation.

We have more than a year to pass proportional representation, so lets get it done before the next election and force the corrupt MPs to do the right thing and make our democracy fairer.

Fuck centrists... voting reform is absolutely necessary.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

My MP is a smart man and voted yes. I’m considering writing letters to the members of government to further increase the pressure.

[–] sirspate@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reminder; this is from back in February.

Thank you for the added context.

I made this post to increase the visibility of the wall of shame so people are more aware of how to advance our democracy past a quasi two- party state.

Canadians should be able to choose between 18 choices not just 2 at the ballot.

I would live to able to pick my favourite from these choices and not have my vote spoiled:

Animal Protection Party of Canada

Bloc Québécois

Canadian Future Party

Centrist Party of Canada

Christian Heritage Party of Canada

Communist Party of Canada

Conservative Party of Canada

Free Party Canada

Green Party of Canada

Liberal Party of Canada

Libertarian Party of Canada

Marijuana Party

Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada

Maverick Party

New Democratic Party

Parti Rhinocéros Party

People's Party of Canada

United Party of Canada

For extra context white is for Québécois Bloc and Black is for independents

[–] teemrokit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I will be contacting my MP. There needs to be better representation and change. We can't keep having this pendulum swing between two parties.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

Thank you for stepping up for necessary change!

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Is it a free vote though or do they get disciplined if they don’t vote the party line?
