I get where you’re coming from about elitism and corruption. Those issues can definitely come from career politicians and decisions made behind closed doors. But I think the answer isn’t to ditch proportional representation; it’s about bringing in reforms like term limits and having politicians put their assets in blind trusts. That way, we can keep things more transparent and accountable in our Canadian system.
As for the idea of anarchy, I think it’s important to remember that democracy, while not perfect, gives us a way to make decisions together. Winston Churchill said it best: “democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” We need to keep working on improving our democratic processes instead of throwing them out.
And I totally agree that we should strengthen the Canadian Charter of Rights. A solid Charter helps protect our freedoms and ensures everyone has a say in our democracy. By focusing on making our systems better, including through proportional representation, we can create a fairer and more representative system for all Canadians.
Yes I agree, an effective anarchy would require a heavy communicative overhead and a lot of constant decision making for each person, so we are generations away from achieving the enormous amount of organization that anarchy would require at national scales.
Compromise is the Canadian way, which is embodied in proportional representation.
