      FPTP, used as it was designed, is very well suited to achieving what is stated.

      No, it isn’t, as I said above. The Harper government was elected three times with less than 40% of the popular vote and did all the things that Conservatives do, ran up the deficit, ran up the debt, cut taxes for the rich and corporations, cut services for everyone else, burned decades of scientific research and muzzled government experts to push his christofascist dogmatic agenda, passed unconstitutional laws as a dog whistle to his christofascist base then spent millions of dollars defending them to the Supreme Court only to have 100% of those unconstutitional laws struck down. How is that representing the majority of Canadians when then had the support of less than 40%?

      The current Liberal + NDP agreement government far better represents the will of the people but it’s a quirk of the FPTP system.

          The fact that you can actually name the dictator tells that this is not FPTP as it was designed.

          You see? This is the kind of nonsense that is disconnected from reality. Harper was freely and fairly elected and was defeated in a free and fair election. He was nothing approaching a dictator.

          I’m simply not willing to continue to discuss this with you if you’re not making arguments that are connected to reality.

          Have a good day.

              Sorry…your position is so ridiculous that there is no room for discussion.

                  Your positions are so absurd that there is no chance to have a reasonable conversation.
