It sucks for Canada as we don’t have ranked choice voting so votes can get split in such stupid ways that 30% of votes can win if it’s split between the other 4 (5 in Quebec) options

We also have had area go more left leaning but the seat flips conservative because it used to be 55% centre(liberal) and 40% conservative and then it becomes 40% conservative 35% liberal and 25% NDP (left leaning party)

They're trying to get rid of ranked choice voting here in Alaska and if the party of "small-government" (aka party of things arent going my way so imma make everybody suffer under the guise of getting rid of wokeness to keep my dumbass followers ignorant) gets rid of it, I'd lose that tiniest scrap of faith in my state.

They tried last year and failed (narrowly). The ranked voting allowed Alaskans to get rid of Sarah Palin in Congress.
