  • Fairvote showing yet again that it’s run by a bunch of idealists who have never talked to someone outside of their bubble.

    You say that when countries such as Ireland and New Zealand completely ditched FPTP and replace it with pr.

    Canadians like local representation chosen by local elections, whether you agree with the “fairness” of the outcome or not. Ranked choice ballots are the only option that will have the broad support needed to be implemented.

    That’s only true for the party-list system, as the single-transferable vote and mixed-member proportional both have local representation.

    Instant runoff ranked choice makes it much more difficult for smaller parties/independents to gain seats and Australia doesn’t perform as well on international rankings like Norway, Switzerland and Denmark do.

    Most citizens assemblies have recommended pr after reviewing all the electoral systems.
