First past the post breeds autocratic behavior. We don't have to look far for examples. Thank you Sanna Marin for articulating what we're fighting for. Your political system sets the bar high, consensus, compromise, 'listening', understanding different values. This is what we're fighting for!
Hearing about the beauty of cooperation in Finland, it hits home.
A system that expects parties to listen, compromise and find common ground produces calmer politics and better decisions.
Canada can have that too with proportional representation. We just have to choose it.
