  • Both the ndp and the bloc are pretty weak now, they’ll need quite a bit of time to fundraise, for ndp to get a new leader and to figure out a response to carneys new governance style. Both of them need to be willing for an election to happen before it will happen. I think this will be a fairly long minority government unless carney does something truly awful or there is yet another change in the global order.










  • A coalition is not the same as a minority government, there has only ever been 2 canadian coalitions. It’s pretty unlikely that will happen.

    I think a minority supported by BQ will be good for the environment, significant tightening on immigration, probably liberal agenda otherwise. the BQ is much more closely aligned with Libs than CPC, as I think Blanchet made clear in the english debate. A LIB+NDP+Green isn’t totally out of the question right now, probably also good for the environment.











  • 6-8 are proportional too (Netherlands, Norway and Luxembourg - the latter of which allows noncitizens to vote!).

    9 is Switzerland which has a 2 round run off system + some direct democracy.

    10 is Australia, a run-off system

    11 and 12 are new Zealand and Costa Rica which are proportional

    13 is Kuwait which has Single Non-Transferable Vote (like fptp but with multiple winners)

    14 is austria, with another 2 round system.

    Most of them also have compulsory voting.

    The next electoral system that isn’t at least partially proportional or 2 round run off is the UK at 20. The southern facists are at 23, much higher than I expected to be honest.

    Here’s the full ranking, they use a 3 year rolling average.

    Gallup polling data from 143 countries for the past three years, specifically monitoring performance in six particular categories: gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of the general population, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels.

    In order to properly compare each country’s data, the researchers created a fictional country—christened Dystopia—filled with “the world’s least-happy people.” They then set Dystopia as the rock bottom value in each of the six categories and measured the scores of the real-world countries against this value.

    It means you were a bad person, most kids are, that’s why we train them. You choose if you’re a bad person today. I would suggest apologizing to those you wronged in ways that still affect them (prolonged bullying, stealing that significantly ruined a business, hitting that caused long term physical or emotional damage etc). An apology is more than just words, and it won’t always make you feel better. This self reflection is good and healthy.
