The curse of the big tent strikes again. Under first-past-the-post, the right is forced into one unstable party where dissent is punished. Proportional representation would let different voices win seats—without being expelled or forced to toe the party line. #abpoli

What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control. First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system. If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation. #cdnpoli

1/15 Ontario and Germany just had elections. The contrast is stark. Germany: 82.5% turnout. Ontario: 45% turnout. Germany’s system made almost every vote count. Ontario’s first-past-the-post system gave Ford’s PCs 100% of the power with just 43% of the vote. 🧵

The best way to protect ourselves against an authoritarian takeover is to end a system that lets parties take total control with just 40% (or less) of the vote. That’s why it’s time to implement proportional representation across Canada.

Wow, there's still votes to be counted, but 25 seats for the ONDP with only 18% of the vote is incredible voter efficiency. Meanwhile the OLP looks like they're gonna get around 30% of the vote and still come a distant third. If that doesn't get them to support electoral reform, I dunno what will.
