I strongly endorse this message โฌ‡๏ธ. The current playing field is structurally rigged against Conservatives. Paige Saunders and Sean Speer: The contrarian case for why Conservatives should embrace electoral reform - The Hub thehub.ca/2025/05/30/paiโ€ฆ

Citing me, Paige Saunders and Sean Speer argue for proportional representation better than I could. Added point with which I don't think they disagree: Test of electoral reform is not impact on parties but what it means for voters. PR would best faithfully reflect views of

The Conservative Party won the popular vote in 2019 and 2021, but the Liberals got substantially more seats. Is our first-past-the-post voting system broken? Should Conservatives support proportional representation? Interesting new article from the Hub (link below).

The Conservatives face a political paradox: moderate and lose support on their right flank; or consolidate the right and lose support with moderates. They may be stuck in a one-for-one trade off. If so, the solution could lie in electoral reform. My latest for The Hub.

"The Conservative Party may be stuck in a virtual one-for-one tradeoff between its base voters and non-base voters that cannot be further optimized. If thatโ€™s right, then the answer isnโ€™t mere adjustments. Itโ€™s foundational rethinking." #cdnpoli

You shouldnโ€™t choose an electoral system based on whether it would help or hurt your party. Nevertheless, if it helps Conservatives get over their mulish and mistaken opposition to electoral reform โ€” itโ€™s not as if theyโ€™ve particularly flourished under first past the post โ€” this

Conservatives need to ask themselves if a system that consistently shuts them out of our major cities is really working. Urban Conservatives deserve a voice too, and proportional representation delivers that. #cdnpoli

Pierre Trudeau saw how much of a threat first-past-the-post was to Canadian unity, and today that threat is more present than ever. Itโ€™s time to honour his vision by implementing proportional representation. Itโ€™s time to demand change. #cdnpoli

Yes yes and yes: Conservatives should champion electoral reform and proportional representation! I've been saying it for years. I'm glad to see I'm not alone on my side. thehub.ca/2025/05/30/paiโ€ฆ

A premier telling First Nations they'll "fall behind" if they don't support his bill is a failure of democracy. First-past-the-post fuels this kind of unchecked power. A better democracy means leaders answer to all of us. That starts with proportional representation. #ONpoli
