First Past the Post voting at elections.
Approval Voting and multi-winner districts let’s gooooooo!
What country? In my country everyone knows that’s a scam.
UK
We had a referendum and people voted to keep the scam.
A great alternative is majority judgment!
Welcome to Canada.
I’m still salty about that broken Liberal promise to reform our elections. None of the parties care about it and it seems no one wants to try to change it.
Things used to be a lot simpler & cheaper in the US, but then we passed the War Revenue Act in 1917 which drastically increased the budget & helped to pay for the war. They probably saw all that money rolling in & got greedy. What was initially designed as a war-time fund raising effort is now just standard taxation, it has gotten worse, and the people being born & working & dying nowadays don’t know anything different.
The government wastes so much money. Whose money? They don’t have any money! They’re wasting our money, that they extract from us via taxation.
We are financially raped into the ground, not allowed to enjoy the fruits of our own labor.
