Wellington, NZ’s housing boom shows what better democracy can achieve.

Their city council uses STV, and NZ’s Parliament MMP—both proportional systems.

Meanwhile, Canada’s first-past-the-post fuels short-term thinking & housing inaction. We need proportional representation!

At a time when Canadian unity is more important than ever, our electoral system continues to deepen our divisions.

It's time for proportional representation—so your vote counts, no matter where in the country you call home.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Ontario shows what happens when only 40% give politicians 100% of power—transparency and accountability suffer.
