Examining the intense debate over floor-crossing, @josephgubbels.bsky.social argues for a "party-democracy model" — to leverage existing political institutions and make Canada’s democracy more deliberative and participatory. 🔗 perspectivesjournal.ca/floor-crossing-vs-party-democracy/

Pull quote from an article titled "Floor-Crossing vs. Party-Democracy" by Joseph Gubbels, published at perspectivesjournal.ca. The quote reads "Only one year since Prime Minister Mark Carney was left with a minority government after the 2025 election, the governing Liberals have achieved a majority, delivered by five Members of Parliament who "crossed the floor." To minimize floor-crossing episodes, a "party-democracy model" can leverage existing political institutions to make Canadian politics more deliberative and participatory."

@lizbarry.bsky.social, executive director at @metagov.bsky.social, and @josephgubbels.bsky.social, political theory fellow, critique AI-driven simulations that replace genuine public participation with algorithmic representations of citizens, arguing they undermine empowerment + capacity-building.
