Cadpol
I wonder what kind of morning Pierre Poilievre is having.
re: Cadpol
It would not be inaccurate to call the LPC rise in the polls "meteoric".
re: Cadpol
@mos_8502 I'm a bit sad it's cannibalizing NDP votes to do so as well, but at least we got a good few seats in Ontario
re: Cadpol
@elfi I think it's to do with risk aversion on the part of NDP voters. Nobody on the left or centre wants PP.
re: Cadpol
@mos_8502 Yeah. One more reason to do away with the first-past-the-post system. Westminster is saving us from a worst case scenario but it could be better
re: Cadpol
@elfi I advocate approval voting, because it requires the fewest changes. Vote for as many candidates as you want, and whoever gets the most votes wins, being acceptable to the most people. This would disincentivize extremism on the part of candidates.
I also want voting to be mandatory.
re: Cadpol
@elfi That said, Election day should be a statutory holiday, with mandatory paid time off to vote for anyone working on election day.
re: Cadpol
@elfi Voting in Canada is so simple and quick that making it mandatory is less of a burden than paying HST.
