Could you say more about Quebec and proportional representation? I tried searching all I found were some articles about Quebec hating non proportional representation.

I live in the US were as far as I know proportional representation is not a thing, which is incredibly useful to maintain the two party system. I come from a more civilized place with proportional representation and universal healthcare and it hurts so much to see how broken this country is.

Québec doesn’t have it, I’m European but I can only surmise that were they given a chance, they’d run with the opportunity to fix FPTP. Unlike the Anglosphere they are way less stuck with the “we have to democracy the British way” mindset.

Thank you, it’s just crazy how bad the electoral system is in the US.

Pointless side note: autocomplete wrote “electrical system” above and that is also true.

idn dawg, I haven’t had an issue with the US electrical grid in the past ten years and the local energy companies are leaning hard into renewables.
