What part of "democracy" do you not understand? You get the most votes, you win (plus-or-minus five percent for structural shenanigans).

Whimper whimper, little twat
J. True Dope is what you got
Three times so far voted in by “not the men of Westernesse”…but after a decade, I think the rest of the country has caught onto 🤞what we had figured out back in 2015-ish, ‘cuz it was 2015.😉

So how would you fix the problem? Limit the electorate to something less than "one person, one vote?" Provide more autonomy for the provinces? Change how the PM is chosen? Something else? Aside from "piss and moan about how much we hate democracy," I men.

Easier just to deport him to Rwanda.
You can get funding from Canada to set up in Rwanda. Set up an LGBTQ2S co-operative that makes halal beef jerky for the homeless lesbians. Pay yourself well.

One person one vote works. The population isn’t eventually distributed and that’s just the way it is. Different parts of the country have different priorities & that’s just the way it is. Rural & urban you have different needs and priorities and that’s also just the way it is. The system does work.

The provinces (like your states) have their own areas of jurisdiction to deal with their regional priorities. The federal government is in place for national issues & priorities. If provincial and federal jurisdictions are respected, the system works.

What’s been happening this last decade or so, isn’t the above. The federal government has been imposing itself on provincial jurisdictions with its own set of priorities contradicting provincial authority and responsibilities…& this isn’t good for anyone.

On that note, yes, have the federal government step back out of playing provincial politics and stick to its own lane of jurisdiction, and leave the provinces to govern themselves on regional matters where they live & understand the people they live amongst and their needs.

The federal government could stick two areas of federal responsibility. The national military. The currency. Federal international trade, etc…

Sounds good, on one condition. . . no Federal "interference," no Federal money.

Then the Federal Gov’t should collect Federal money for federal things in federal jurisdiction…& that’s it. Not over and above in order to dole out backwards in “influence dollars” back to that provinces should take care of that situation. Do you think that would go a long ways in order to alleviate that issue?
