NDP leader introduces bill that would require floor crossers to face voters first
Parties aren’t part of our electoral system. You’re elected because you’re the best MP in a given area (or thought to be) and whatever club you join doesn’t change that.
But it is how our system is designed. Yes everyone votes for part which means we should change our system. Just go dull proportional representation x seats x percentage of votes gives you your seat count.

That might be how you think it should be, but it’s not that way at all. Canadians have been voting for the party for many decades.
Teach them then. I always ask candidates who they’ll vote to be PM.

Who cares that it’s designed this way, we don’t have founding daddy issues in this country. If we want we can redesign it.
