Yep. And if you can get enough people to agree with you, you can turf 'em out.
And that makes sense. The prize goes to the one who works the hardest, all else being equal (which it never is, but reasonably close).
Nah, flossy likes to look stupid in public. That is what trolls do.
Your elected representative is not ther leader...they are the MP you voted for. If you voted for the one that didn't get elected, well, it sucks to be you LOL
Regardless of what party an MP represents, they are supposed to bring our demands to government, not tell us what their party is going to do to us.
I really enjoy the days you have a firm grip on the fact that your opinion is not objective truth.
If you're so cocksure everybody in your riding agrees with you, why don't you stand or run or squat or whateverthefuck y'all do for Parliament?
You'd be a shoo-in.
Gin n tonic belched:
No, what's incredible is imbeciles who think voting = democracy. North Koreans get to vote. Chinese get to vote. Russians get to vote. However I sincerely doubt ANYONE would confuse those countries with an actual democracy.
The idea that voting is all it takes to make a democracy is kindergarten level of understanding. You need govt accountability and not just at election time. Freedom to protest the govt is another hallmark of a true democracy. In Canada we are batting .333. In baseball that might be a good batting average but for a democracy, it's piss poor.
As for the Emergencies Act, Groper just proved in one fell swoop yet again that he's an anti-Canada racist. The Act prohibits ALL forms of protest while it's in place, except for First Nations and refugees. So to sum up, NON-Canadians can protest in Canada but actual Canadians can't, unless they're First Nations.
Groper and gang are an insult to freedom and democracy.
No one thinks democracy is just voting.

I do. Democracy is "just voting."
And driving a car is just hopping in and turning it on (I woulda said "turning the key," but these days. . .).
It's sad that he hates democracy though. Everyone's voice was heard here, he's just angry that he's outnumbered.
Have Republicans finally given up the fake election delusion yet?
AHEM
Flossy: It's incredible that people still don't understand this in 2022.
Yep and it's incredible that in a supposed democracy in 2022 there are morons like you who think protesting the govt doesn't belong in a democracy.
That doesn't mean democracy is only voting.
I don't understand how someone gets to your level of stupid.
Please explain it to me with another verbose rant.
By having a much higher IQ than you and no opinion.That doesn't mean democracy is only voting.

It's not part of "democracy" in the strictest sense. Then again, neither you nor we have nor ever intended to have a system limited to nothing but "democracy."
One could accurately state that the concept of having rights that are not subject to the will of the majority is "un-democratic."
"Democracy," in the sense in which you're using it, is a vague generalization of several libraries worth of information, practices, procedures, legal and social concepts, and customs. All subject to interpretation or misinterpretation according to your opinions or biases.
Calling something "undemocratic" has about as much information value as calling it "unGodly." It's invocation of a magic word when you're too lazy to construct a solid argument.
