You mean where you can't deny my points so just decide to disagree anyway? Go right ahead.

You say coalitions are a requirement, yet support a system that makes coalitions even less likely than FPTP. Coalitions are frequent in PR, which make for a chamber that looks like how people actually vote. Ranking also occurs in STV, a type of PR.

50%+1 is clearly moronic, yet the ranked system makes it even easier for top 2 ranked parties to form a majority by being just ahead of the others, and sometimes can even win a majority while losing a plurality of the vote.

Yes, that TOTALLY justifies choosing a less representative option. Tell me, are the Nordic nations living hells? What about most of the rest of continental Europe? Because they generally use PR, and as a result, their governments are more representative of there peoples will.

Proportional Representation makes a chamber equal to how people actually voted, and could be as a simple as a list system, where people vote for a party and that party gets as many seats as the % of people that voted for them.'

Hey dumbfuck, that's basically always what happens with PR, while ranked ballots make it EVEN MORE likely that 1 party can form a majority. Both our current FPTP and ranked ballots have the same problem there

(2/2) majority of people. just admit it. I'd rather ensure a majority government has the actual support of a majority of the voters.

(1/2) Ranked means the main 2 don't have to do anything but exist. PR means you actually have to be people's 1st choice if you want seats. If you'd rather have the liberals to be guaranteed to be in the top 2 and have a higher chance of forming an unearned majority without having to appeal to an

Its literally laid out in the link I just sent. You want to ignore the facts then go ahead, but clearly ranked voting allows the 2 top parties to have a duopoly on power. A proportional system means a party's power is exactly equal to the % of people that actually voted for them. STV combines both.

You neglect to mention that the previous government worked as a caretaker government in the meantime. I'd live in a truly fair democracy, like most of europe does, than in one in which anything except the top 2 parties can just be ignored. Countries with PR score much higher on average on I-HDI too

What good is having a couple more members if is more likely that there is undeserved majority government that you can no longer influence, which makes it even harder for another party to break the duopoly? www.fairvote.ca/ranked-ballot/

A winner-take-all ranked ballot can distort results even more than first-past-the-post. 80% of Canadians support a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform.

Without any valid reason, which just means you'd rather have the top 2 parties have a monopoly on power rather then allowing any party to win, if they can appeal to the most people, and negotiate to form a government with the support of parties representing a majority of their actual first choice

PR means political power = % of votes. That is FAR more democratic then letting the top 2 parties have a near monopoly on power, just like they do in our current FPTP system. And PR does a far better job representing diversity than non-PR systems. Maybe do some research b4 spouting out nonsense

No, we need proportional representation. Ranked ballots just make it easier for of the top 2 parties to get majorities every time. Smaller parties get eve more easily ignored

Wow, so even in a riding where voting for the person less likely win is NOT likely to result in a conservative win, you'll STILL insist voters choose the projected to be 1st. And presuming I "came" from MP Green because I dared to criticize you? I FAR prefer votewell.ca

Hey, for Hamilton-Centre, you have the strategic vote as liberal, even though the projection has them tied with NDP (who is the incumbent), and the cons are far behind. Shouldn't this at least be a "back either one scenario"?
