Right, but this is a Canadian community about the recent Canadian election. The voting system is assumed.
In my riding, if you only had the option of liberal or conservative and a 100% turnout we would still have elected the same blue brick for the 4th time.
Usually this just means I get to vote for whatever party I like the platform enough of/like the leader.
It’s shite, and most of the time you can get a donkey in power if you stick the right colour rosette on it, but last election we did see seats change power that had been held for a century.
I’m not really prepared to shoot anybody to get change. Voting is all we’ve got.
If somebody tells you voting is pointless, they are voting for somebody you wouldn’t vote for.
Casting a vote is as effective at achieving political objectives as using Purell a couple times a week is at eradicating COVID.
Voting isnt pointless, it’s just not nearly enough.
I don’t really think that’s the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there’s little impact to voting.
That depends on your voting system.

I mean we’ve got the same system in the UK tbh.
