Nora Loreto @nolore.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Good reminder that FPTP sucks!!Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.caHere’s where the vote tally stands at 8:45 PM local time Most results are from rural areas and urban areas haven’t reported yet, but the AfD is posting numbers that would result in a majority government in Canada’s first-past-the-post system (Germany uses mixed-member proportional representation) 36819
Paul Champ @paulchamplaw.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Another point of view is that PR allowed this party to gain an electoral foothold and base in previous elections when their lower popular vote would have left them with no seats in FPTP. 100
Nora Loreto @nolore.bsky.social · 07/09/2026PR is a more accurate reading of where voters are at. FPTP might mask fascist sentiment among the population but PR gives voters more openings to confront power, which is much more helpful if a fascist does eventually win. 000
