Winning a seat no longer required a majority of votes. As the number of parties increased, our democracy decreased. In the 2021 federal election, the Conservatives won more votes, but with first past the post the Liberals won 160 seats to the Conservatives’ 119. The Bloc won 32 seats with eight per cent of the vote compared to the NDP’s 25 seats with 18 per cent of the vote. Not upgrading our democracy has cost us over a hundred years of distorted election results.
Since 1921, commissions, reports, politicians and citizens have consistently and repeatedly recommended electoral reform with proportional representation. Parties have promised it . Other countries using first past the post have upgraded their democracy with proportional representation. It is time we did the same.
