    I’m Canadian, we don’t have this problem. I don’t think they do in the UK or Europe either.

    You guys didn’t either, until just more relatively recently. Feels gross, it feels corrupt

      First Past the Post is an issue in Canada and the UK as well.

      I tend to advocate for STAR, because it seems to be one of the best voting systems ever designed. Sadly, the people who were elected thanks to FPtP don’t want to surrender power by switching to a better voting system. This is why you sometimes see these ghouls pushing things like Ranked Choice, a system that is only marginally better than FPtP, if you ignore some massive (and exploitable) flaws.

      You need to read more news. Yes, you absolutely fucking have this problem in Canada. Why am I still hearing about Doug Ford, huh? And in the UK they have a different variance of problems, because they have passed about half of the reforms necessary to solve this.
