from the Citizens’ Assembly noted, “because each district is likely to elect members from different parties in proportion to the votes cast, voters may well be able to go to an MLA who shares their political views. This will help provide more effective local representation.”
Better still, the very nature of the system forces candidates to be more collegial and less combative. “Recognizing that they may not be ‘first preference’ on enough ballots to win a seat, candidates will need to encourage supporters of other candidates to mark them as their second or third preference,” the Citizens’ Assembly’s report said.
With the rise of Pierre Poilievre and ongoing spread of Trumpist politics in Canada, Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh ought to revisit proportional representation, writes columnist @maxfawcett. #cdnpoli #ElectoralReform It’s not like they’re above tilting the political table in their own direction, either. Doug Ford’s government
maxfawcett NatObserver What can save us from hyper partisan media?
maxfawcett NatObserver PP for PM!
maxfawcett NatObserver Well, now I know the National Observer is a Liberal soap box. Son how would you define Trudeau? The fraud, lies, manipulations...you are worried about what Pierre MIGHT do; you should be concerned about what JT has already done to undermine our system. Do some research, journo
maxfawcett NatObserver giving Alberta more seats. out voting Que. yumm
maxfawcett NatObserver Reform now to try and save his Incompetent ass? LOL that would be a move right out of Hitler's Playbook. The Turdholio/Jughead 🤡 Hour is done. The Election can't get here soon enough and most of the Country want them both gone.
maxfawcett NatObserver maxfawcett enjoy the ratio
maxfawcett NatObserver You do realize that with proportional rep the PCs would have won the last 2 elections right? There is a reason Justin broke his promise to change the system.
maxfawcett NatObserver Who's electoral reform?...dear leaders personal version of electoral reform?...certainly not the electoral reform that he lied about, just to get elected.
maxfawcett NatObserver 'We seen the polls and wanna cheat now' Weird headline
maxfawcett NatObserver Lol Trudeau was supposed to implement that and it would have saved us from him actually!!
maxfawcett NatObserver “The guy I don’t like may win the next election so we better change the rules.”
maxfawcett NatObserver “Save Canada”… what Canada needs maxfawcett is to rid of JustinTrudeau who has made life MORE UNAFFORDABLE for Canadians. Spare your obvious fear of a government who works for Canadians. Where Canadians can be free of TrudeauTyranny. JUSTINInflation TrudeauMustGoToJail
maxfawcett NatObserver What must be done to save Canada from Justin Trudeau’s politics?
maxfawcett NatObserver Save us now, Trudeau is killing us
maxfawcett NatObserver Just end having elections, they're too dangerous when the wrong parties (not left wing) could get in!
maxfawcett NatObserver Are they planning on cheating the people out of there vote and choice known
maxfawcett NatObserver Hahahaha nothing can save you, maxfawcett 🤡 Muwahahahaha better check under your bed..
maxfawcett NatObserver Fucking rag
maxfawcett NatObserver You seem to be mistaken. It's not Poilievre's politics that Canada needs saving from. It's those of the two hooligans in your post photo.
maxfawcett NatObserver I never thought we would arrive here, yet here we stand.
maxfawcett NatObserver I think the polls say it all…. We need to be spared JT and JS… Thanks but maybe let the people decide… The lack of Reform was the only reason JT remained in power in the first place…. The majority want him out… let it happen!! Frankly, It can’t happen soon enough!!
maxfawcett NatObserver fashists
maxfawcett NatObserver Wow. What a ridiculous article.
maxfawcett NatObserver Total hypocrisy, you ran on this platform did nothing with it, you should be ashamed. Stop you are fooling no one, such blatant hypocrisy!
maxfawcett NatObserver Are you interfering with the national election? I’ll make sure I hang onto this so that the statement of claim arrives the day after you overstep the line. Then drag your arse through painful discovery. Go through your finances. And make sure you never hurt people again
maxfawcett NatObserver Trudeau ran on that platform in 2015 dam all do is lie gfy
maxfawcett NatObserver Yeah, no....lol. Let's be honest here, Trudeau totally welched on electoral reform, which Max tries to twist here. As usual, by the 2nd paragraph of a Fawcett/Telford op-ed, my 👀's begin rolling & I quickly remember, I'm reading 'fiction'. TrudeauMustGo Pierre4PM cdnpoli
maxfawcett NatObserver Max is a Marxist.
maxfawcett NatObserver What exactly is 'Trumpism' and why does the author apply it to the CPC?
maxfawcett NatObserver The only thing that saved Trudeau was the fact that he actually didn’t change the electoral reform despite campaigning on it. That’s what saved his butt & he knows it.
maxfawcett NatObserver I hope not
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver Haha what a joke, getting theJagmeetSingh and our Crime Minister JustinTrudeau out of office is what’s going to save Canada trudeaumustgo
maxfawcett NatObserver What needs to change is the popularity contest we currently co-opt. Party leader should have no political input or power. They act solely as party ambassadors who articulate the party's objectives. MPs represent their jurisdictions priorities, etc. The current system fails.
maxfawcett NatObserver Oh well, electoral reform was promised by libs and it didn't get done. I believe the reason was mainly incompetency?
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver Electoral reform is the main reason my family voted for Trudeau in 2015, but that was a giant lie wasn’t it? Liberals are hilariously hypocritical.
maxfawcett NatObserver 'There is still time to heal our politics and create a system that rewards our better angels rather than empowering our worst.' The Far Left in this country is absolutely delusional This from a cretin who called a school shooting survivor 'fragile' 'The Tolerant Left'
maxfawcett NatObserver Man the left is in a tizzy. 'Let's rework the system now that we're gonna lose'...
maxfawcett NatObserver Thats good🙄. When he thought he was going to win a minority he pledged reform...once he got absolute power it went in the bin.
maxfawcett NatObserver Go away random bot blogger!
maxfawcett NatObserver Who will save us from JUSTINflation politics ? TrudeauMustGoToJail
maxfawcett NatObserver The Far Left always needs to rig the system when they can't convince voters that their policies are actually failing Canadians instead of improving their lives
maxfawcett NatObserver Canada needs to be saved from Trudeau's and Singhs politics as the Liberal-NDP Coalition has sent the most Canadians in history to local food banks
maxfawcett NatObserver Fk off
maxfawcett NatObserver But why would we want to be saved from freedom?
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver Well then why didn't your hero Trudeau make good on his campaign promise from 2015? He had a majority.
maxfawcett NatObserver 'Trumpist Politics' Grow up, goof. And be very afraid. Muwahahahaha 🤡
maxfawcett NatObserver 'We can't win unless we change the rules'.
maxfawcett NatObserver Our version of Biden's 'stacking the Court' plan?
maxfawcett NatObserver Now you jerks care about electoral reform
maxfawcett NatObserver Why doesn’t Max just officially join the Liberal Party comms team?
maxfawcett NatObserver What a fascist thing to say
maxfawcett NatObserver In the most typical partisan fashion, all silence on electoral reform from the most biased journos as long as the Liberal party is winning with tiny margins. But the threat of a looming Tory majority has hacks running into the arms of reform. Too funny.
maxfawcett NatObserver We told the LPC that we wanted electoral reform when they campaigned on it in 2015. They won and then dropped reform immediately because first past the post worked in their favour. Now that they might lose, they want to change? It's all about clinging to power
maxfawcett NatObserver what we need is saving from Trudeau and Jagmeat. out of touch with middle class cost of living .
maxfawcett NatObserver Definitely, as long as the LPC agrees to take Ranked Ballots off the table
maxfawcett NatObserver 'alt-right information ecosystem' built by conservatives? As opposed to what... the alt-left mainstream media bailout-funded government propaganda machine?
maxfawcett NatObserver Hey Max. Did Trudeau ask you to say that? Bwahahahaha!!!
maxfawcett NatObserver Can someone pls direct me to the column Max wrote about Trudeau's electoral victory in the last election and the need for PR? I wd ask him directly but the racist blocked me. He doesn't like 'uppity minorities' questioning him.
maxfawcett NatObserver Yeah NO TrudeauMustGoNow
maxfawcett NatObserver So…Let’s change the system to keep them out. Thanks Max for another example of why electoral reform will have difficulty catching on. Just like Trudeau, parties only interested in a system that supports their political interests.
maxfawcett NatObserver So cheat and rig the system, how Liberal of you LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
maxfawcett NatObserver Welcome to North Korea TrudeauMustGo TrudeauworstPMever
maxfawcett NatObserver A really lazy article imo.
maxfawcett NatObserver A nice reminder that the crimeminister is not a man of his word. Why now and not then? He must feel he has manipulated enough people to be successful now.
maxfawcett NatObserver 🤦🏼♀️
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver Save us lmfao Another broken election promise from TrudeauMustGo
maxfawcett NatObserver Bahahaha ya, when your party is losing, change the rules to try to win Trudeau will be a laughing stock proposing this now
maxfawcett NatObserver Are you kidding me? 7 years later Trudeau wants electoral reform after he bathed in it's glory?
maxfawcett NatObserver Who cares…
maxfawcett NatObserver I was blocked by Mr. Fawcett. Not sure why.🤷♂️
maxfawcett NatObserver Trudeau said that about Harper, he even campaigned on it, 7 years ago….
maxfawcett NatObserver You already have Jagmeet protecting Justin in case of minorty. You already have the PPC vote splitting. What more do you need in your attack on the majority of Canadians?
maxfawcett NatObserver Liberals: 'Need to change the rules to stop citizens from electing the person they vote for'
maxfawcett NatObserver That is how undemocratic states function... bending the rules or changing them in their favor. Electoral reform should have been done long ago after the 2015 election...
maxfawcett NatObserver LOL it's 2015 again!!!
maxfawcett NatObserver Max is a tool. Trudeau ran on it in 2015 and then lied and said the people did not want it. True hypocrite
pam48019356 maxfawcett NatObserver Whatever it takes to avoid Gilead. Christofascists NeverVoteConservative
maxfawcett NatObserver Trudeau dropped the ball on electoral reform when it suited him to do so, trying to do something about it when the pendulum is swinging towards away from Liberals & towards competent leadership would only highlight his cheating nature.
maxfawcett NatObserver Max is a pathetic weasel.
maxfawcett NatObserver 👆Taxpayer funded propaganda.
maxfawcett NatObserver Electoral reform will not safe us. Look at how divided the countries are that have such a system.
maxfawcett NatObserver I think Max will find the voters don't want to 'cement Liberal policies'. That would be kind of the point of voting out these leftie mouth-crappers.
maxfawcett NatObserver Oh sure, NOW Max pushes Electoral reform, but since 2016 when Justin was determined to have lied about getting rid of FPTP…crickets.
maxfawcett NatObserver Max stands behind his opinions so strongly. That he can argue his opinion with no worries or push back lmfao
maxfawcett NatObserver Haha Max Fawcett is so damn scared of PierrePoilievre that it’s become hilarious. Watching him scramble for scraps, to try and attack Pierre’s supporters is even better.
dalybeauty maxfawcett NatObserver So many people are triggered my Max's logic. Hilarious.
maxfawcett NatObserver For crying out loud, he ran on that in 2015 and about faced on it as soon as he could🤦🏻♂️
maxfawcett NatObserver Holy shit!
maxfawcett NatObserver Was ok for Trudeau who made it part of 2015 campaign,to change his mind when realized would not help him.BUT now should bring in Electoral reform to'protect Canadians' from democratically elected party leader? Putin of Russia must love you. Change rules when suits present leader.
maxfawcett NatObserver Max is a propaganda mouthpiece for the LPC. Not a peep about electoral reform even when the LPC abandoned its promise, but a real threat to their dominance on the horizon, good little Max puts on his Propagandists hat and starts talking about ways to keep the LPC in power. Weak.
maxfawcett NatObserver Who'll 'save' us from Turdo and Jughead?
maxfawcett NatObserver Trudeau shot this down,
maxfawcett NatObserver Electoral reform won't save the Libs. That's why they forgot about it, they'd be buried in a heartbeat.
maxfawcett NatObserver Run on changing the system, don't change it when you win because it serves keeping you in power. Your opponent's running on your record of incompetence, quick change the system so you can quickly defeat them and return to power.
maxfawcett NatObserver Lmao.
maxfawcett NatObserver TRUMP2024 Pierre2025
maxfawcett NatObserver justin just gamed us with his NDP-liberal coalition. Tough to promise electoral reform again.
maxfawcett NatObserver Of course - now that the Conservatives are rising in the polls, 'electoral reform' is important again to 'progressives'
maxfawcett NatObserver So rigging the elections. That sounds right for liberals TrudeauMustGo
maxfawcett NatObserver Scared aren't you?
maxfawcett NatObserver You realize that with out the first past the pole rule, Trudeau would have been one and done right? The conservatives got the popular vote last 2 elections by over 200,000 votes. This is the only thing saving his ass.
maxfawcett NatObserver Your article reminded me of two things ( side note spell does work) 1- Justin’s 2015 election promises. 2- 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver You’re missing the point. More Canadians don’t want to be saved from PierrePoilievre They want to be saved from JustinTrudeau
maxfawcett NatObserver Last Election based on counting all votes as equal. Vote Percentage 343 seats. CPC 116 LPC 112 NDP 61 BQ 26 PPC 17 GPC 8 3 Seats other parties. peoplespca must want true democracy in Canada as well, ditch the Riding system. cdnpoli
maxfawcett NatObserver Why do you hate democracy?
maxfawcett NatObserver Max is worried. His bias against Canadians has been obvious. 🤷♀️
maxfawcett NatObserver Max Fawcett. Lol. Electoral reform will fix the issues and he will win for sure.
maxfawcett NatObserver Typical Liberal, change the rules of the game just when you think you’re side is about to lose.
maxfawcett NatObserver Time to defund the National Observer!
maxfawcett NatObserver Recent polling suggests Canadians prefer to be saved from Trudeau
maxfawcett NatObserver Where’s your objectivity and neutrality?
maxfawcett NatObserver I disagree. Only Canadians can save Canada by voting. Every eligible voter must vote.
maxfawcett NatObserver What's so hilarious is that both Trudeau and Singh are so reviled that even electoral reform can't help them now. Buh bye losers.
maxfawcett NatObserver Save? Wow is Beta-Max every fully indoctrinated into TruAnon!
maxfawcett NatObserver
maxfawcett NatObserver Never well come true
maxfawcett NatObserver Trudeau promised hundreds of times in his first election campaign he'd change the electoral system. Gov't committee recommended a change in electoral system, and then Trudeau said NO, because it would end up giving a voice to the extreme right. You can't trust anything he says.
maxfawcett NatObserver Save Canada? It's being destroyed by these two clowns right now. The younger voters know this but it seems the boomers and the legacy media haven't quite realized yet
