      Awesome.

      Just in time for the recent influx of poisonous food from the US. Awesome.

            Looks like Mexico is about to get extra export sales.

                Look at his voting records!

                He had 43.76% of the vote in the 2025 federal election and has been given 49.27% of the seats thanks undemocratic first-past-the-post!

                The conservative liberals will gladly push for the alternative vote and block voting.

                    NDP and Greens also want proportional rep or approval voting

                        Neither party push for approval voting.

                        The NDP wants mixed-member proportional. What New Zealand uses.

                        The Greens want single transferable vote. What Ireland uses.

                                Any examples of this system in real world practice?

                                    Pretty much every informal organization you’ve ever been part of. Deciding which hotel to stay at with your family or what restaurant to go to with your friends or who is leading the cheers in a soccer fan section…

                                        I gotta use approval voting to keep cash and paperback books alive then.

                            This while the U.S has dismantled the FDA and is shipping us toxic garbage.

                              Seems like a bad plan in light of recent events. Additionally it seems like a pretty obvious political misstep to make this particular cut at this particular time.
