LOL! This is no different than anyone who always votes the same way because that’s how their parents always voted. Under FPTP, it’s critical to always vote for the lesser of the evils. If the Liberals are the lesser of the evils in the future, I will be voting for them. If it’s the CPC or some other party, then I’ll vote for that party. While many Canadians aren’t 100% happy with Carney right now, polls show the majority are still very glad they didn’t vote for Poilievre (or the NDP).
One thing that would help is PR voting. This would greatly reduce the number of majority governments we get, because voting for a small party wouldn’t feel like a wasted vote. Minority governments force the various parties to work together and have some power to keep each other in check. Majority governments result in one party having dictatorial power.
Another help is to have the ability to recall politicians if some percentage (perhaps around 66% to 70%) of Canadians want to remove them. That way, if they don’t govern the way they campaigned, they could be removed without having to wait the entire four years.
