      It would be the perfect time for the Liberals to change polling method, now that they’re about to lose yet still have the NDP’s backing.

        It would actually be quite based if the Liberals fixed our shitty First Past The Post system in a last ditch effort to keep power. I wonder if the polling would scare them enough to do so or if they’re too overconfident to think that they don’t need it.

          One thing I know about this country is that our rights only move forward when the Liberals are scared of being outvoted by the Tories!

          Women only got the right to vote because Liberals figured it would help them best the Cons…

      No. Ranked ballot is literally the worst electoral reform. It doesn’t lead to proportional representation. It just favours the most moderate party, since they would be everyone’s second choice. We need something like STV or MMPR

        STV is one of many voting systems based on ranked ballots.

        While it would tend towards more moderate, it would also lean towards the side most Canadians prefer naturally.
