FAQ
Who are you?
I’m a 47 year old guy living in Central Ontario. I got my undergraduate degree from Carleton U. I work in Digital Project Management.
I despise FPTP. I don’t like Majority governments. I don’t think a government that had more people vote against them than for should have carte blanche to pass whatever legislation they want.
I have voted for all the parties at one time or another either Federally or Provincially. I am not a loyal backer of any of political party. I evaluate each platform before each election, attend public debates, and usually decide who will receive my vote the day of the election because I’m usually forced to vote strategically.
Why are you doing this?
I’ve been in favour of Electoral Reform since the first time I voted. I realized then that my vote had no impact beyond my local riding. It’s really absurd that most of the electorate votes against the party that wins, yet that party receives the balance of power. We need to collectively demand reform because this inequitable situation the case over and over and over.
