Nigel Farage's Reform Party may win a majority government with just 28% of the vote at the next UK election.
First-past-the-post needs to be abolished from the face of the planet.
It’s time for proportional representation.

Canada already has politicians who spread conspiracies on everything from LGBTQ rights to vaccines to immigration.
First-past-the-post doesn’t block them—it hides them in big parties that can win all the power with 40% of the vote.
Demand proportional representation.

Democracy shouldn't be a guessing game.
Vote for who you believe in—and get the representation you deserve.
Demand proportional representation!
We should ban organizations that pretend to be news: Fox News, Rebel Media...

I don't know the particular solution to the housing crisis (nor did I insinuate I have one).
But the solution to the millions of perfectly valid ballots being tossed out every single Canadian election, is proportional representation.
I've been repeating this: Simple things you can do to grow the proportional representation movement.
Perhaps after we get PR, we can get actually effective governments, that respond even more deeply to the people's needs.
I couldn't do it alone. We have decades of broken promises on proportional representation promises to thank.
Additional context:
- Carleton is the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's riding.
- The Longest Ballot Committee overloads the ballot with candidates (usually 100+) to advertise the absurdity of FPTP, and push for proportional representation.
I have done all of those things and will continue to do them in the future
Thanks! Let's keep growing the PR movement!
This isn't just about a party not following "promises exactly" - it's about a fundamental democratic reform promised and then deliberately abandoned. The electoral reform promise wasn't a minor policy detail; it was presented as a pillar of their platform with Trudeau stating it over 1,800 times.
When a government makes a major promise about democratic reform and then breaks it, it directly undermines their democratic legitimacy to make all other promises. This pattern goes back a century - Liberals have campaigned on proportional representation since 1919, starting with Mackenzie King.
In 2024, Trudeau even admitted they were "deliberately vague" about electoral reform to appeal to advocates while never intending to implement proportional representation.
Housing promises matter deeply, but they're built on the same democratic foundation that was undermined by this broken commitment. A government elected through a system where millions of votes don't count is structurally limited in its ability to represent Canadians' actual preferences on any issue, housing included.
Then after the election, you better be fighting your hardest to get proportional representation 😁.
