It doesn’t matter if you’re a Labor fan, the good times won’t last. If you don’t install proportional representation this will come back to bite you in the ass as it has before.

      Don’t cast this as anti-Green. The right wing Reform party is twice as deprived.

      Proportional representation is good for all fringe parties.

      Ah, but these numbers come from this past election.

      If we had PR then people would be more likely to vote Green because you don’t have to be tactical. Your vote goes to a Green seat, rather than voting for another party to keep Tories out.

        Exactly this.

        I’ll never vote Green (as a Canadian) since it’s strategically equivalent to not voting at all.

      Honestly if they weren’t anti nuclear they might get more votes. It is definitely a wedge issue for a lot of people. They are also anti car which is good! Except I have never met anyone who is also anti car.

      They also say weird things sometimes like wanting to reduce c sections and make birth a non medical event.
