Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:

The Otago Regional Council is switching from from first past the post, to STV (single transferable vote) for this year’s council elections. This aligns with the DCC system which has been working well for years.

Prof Janine Hayward has some good advice.

"After first past the post (FPP), there was a tendency among some people to rank every single candidate on the ballot sheet, but really that’s unnecessary."

⬆️ Yep. That was me, ranking climate deniers at number 40-something then being required to rank every other candidate in between.

"Put simply, if you don’t like the candidate, don’t rank them."

Amen.

And whichever petition gets the most votes, put a bill in Parliament, pass it, task Elections Canada to retool the fucking electoral system.

Or, more expensively, have a national referendum ballot.

3 July 2024: 1 day until a UK General Election (we got lucky!)

That's it folks! Tomorrow is the day. Lets begin to make our country a better one. After tomorrow hopefully we can show America it's possible to get rid of the grifters. After tomorrow we need to work towards Proportional Representation, so those who follow on know they are more accountable.

And multi-winner PR can take more of the guess work out of VRA compliance, break up current racial voting blocs, and ensure that parties have to negotiate with each other to build heterogenous coalitions in the legislative process. Even if it has to happen through #STV/multi-winner #RCV (like for the Australian Senate) or #MMR, I’d rather have either than keep the single-winner districts.
