'For the umpteenth time, drum roll please, this entire mess could easily have been avoided. If we had a democratic electoral system, i.e. proportional representation, this would not have happened.'
Many PR systems end up having a variety of smaller single issue parties. Our system has flaws but it tends to produce majority governments to which it is easy to ascribe blame as well as praise.
In a coalition of 4 differenr parties as government, whom should be blamed for what gets really difficult.
For a practical demonstration, look at Israel which is conducting an unpopular war in part because Netenyahu is beholden to a small group of extreme right wing parties to maintain power.
Stop fearmongering about a fairer system that increases voter choice and accountability in politics.
Israel’s situation is very complicated and is a terrible comparison to make.
You’re forgetting about what is happened in Zimbabwe. First past the post still produces extremists parties such as the B.C. conservatives and US republicans.
People can easily tell if 4 political parties screw up in government. It is classist and quite insulting to be assuming the public cannot handle more than 3 political parties.
Denmark uses pr and they’re one of the strongest democracies in the world.
Goodness no, things would be even worse!
