Reform UK could win a majority government with only 30 percent of the vote.

That is how distorted UK democracy has become under first past the post. Canada should take note.

Danielle Smith makes some really good arguments in this video.
Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.
