As I said, EVs are not as imbalanced as the Senate but you just have to look at the fact that Harris probably has to beat him by 3% in the popular vote to win the election.
It's insane to lose an election after getting millions more individual votes than your opponent.
Enjoy it!
Our Supreme Court is likewise confirmed by the Senate. But here in the great socialist north, the prime minister alone appoints senators, and the Senate isn’t a mechanism to balance regional disparities in population. It exacerbates it. It’s a bicameral legislature in name only.
We don’t vote in our Prime Minister. We vote on representatives in our ridings only (electoral district). The PM has his own riding that he’s elected from only and chooses his cabinet from fellow elected MPs as the legislative and executive branches are fused tight.
The party that forms government in the House of Commons, based on population, always, always, always, comes down to this small region circled. Every single election it’s arse-kissing southern Ontario and Quebec. It’s been that since before the Titanic was in dry dock. How the rest of the country votes is irrelevant.
It would curl Americans’ hair to learn of some of the bizarre products of a tyranny of the majority system produces up here. Both Canada and the US have massive areas with great differences in population densities in their respective regions. Your Founders grappled with that. Ours didn’t. The problems your system produces are good problems to have. As mentioned, it’s not one regional minority in the US that in perpetuity decides your legislative & executive branches.
I will say this: although a Westminster Parliament sucks dirt for a region this large, we vote by making an “x” on a paper ballot that’s hand-counted. Little room for monkey business or the appearance of.
