They make laws that claim to be for everybody but are only for people who aren’t rich or powerful. The rich and powerful can commit bribery, human trafficking, murder, and more without consequence but yet jail people for doing the same thing. It’s like parents who swear all the time but punish their children for swearing.

      First-past-the-post: I will elect out of touch politicians with only 39% of the vote.

      Then the people will eat up all the poor excuses from the rich from implementing real democratic proportional representation.

        More like we don’t have a choice, and the math wasn’t done to prove that we wouldn’t have a choice for another 65-75 years after we set up the first modern democracy based on 6 Nations philosophy, but go ahead, go off.
