    this conversation needs to happen. NDP should go back to it’s roots and instead of seeking power, should talk about things others would rather not: stop talking “economy and GDP” and start talking “worker protections” , human dignity and human rights. Unfortunately electoral reform speech coming from NDP right now would sound like “sore loser whining” but it also needs to be talked about.

      People always say the NDP, Bloc and Greens are trying to game the system with their favourite electoral system. However it is the same one that the impartial citizens assemblies (like juries) haves voted in favour of after examining all the options ie a form of proportional representation.

      But the liberals and conservatives want to silence all dissenting voices and force their false majorities onto everyone. They fervently love first-past-the-post because it trashes everyone’s vote except for the cons and liberal ones in most ridings.
