Why would someone as smart as him be uncertain about ensuring every vote counts?

Because it's an absolute waste of political capital to make happen if there isn't a strong movement fighting for it.

Even if there is no intention to improve our democracy, it's a really low bar to just agree that every vote should count...

I agree, but I'm not the one you need to convince, it's Terry on Facebook who spends 2 hours a day complaining about bike lanes and vegans.

Oh, Terry will be super happy when PR gives him the chance to give a couple of seats to Bernier, giving him a much bigger platform to share his opinions!

It's okay, we're just having a conversation. Stakes aren't high.

If the stakes arent high then for the love of God stop posting about electoral reform so often.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

In the conversation between you and me, where we already agree (mostly) on electoral reform, the stakes aren't high.

But otherwise, yes, the stakes are high.

I apologize if my discussions on proportional representation are annoying, that's not the intention. You can choose to ignore me or even block me if you feel inclined.
