First-Past-The-Post is the single most stupid voting system that you can think about. It is a system that is specifically designed to create two powerful political parties that can rule, regardless of actual support.
I’m not European but I lived in Europe. The United Kingdom is, without any doubt, one of the most flawed democracy in Europe. Water is fully privatized. Private water companies are overcharging people. University education is incredibly expensive. Going to University in France will only cost you $1000 in France. In Britain ? Multiply the price by 8 or 10. UK Labor rights are significantly weaker than France, Germany or Spain. Campaign finance rules in Britain are a joke compared to continental Europe. You can give $100,000 or $500,000 to any political party. In fact, Prime Minister Boris Johnson used to sell access to 10 downing street to his donors :
The masses and the UK Elite don’t even use the same accent. Believe me, I have never seen anything remotely close elsewhere.
As for the United States, it is a completely corrupt nation. The entire political system is for sale. Their presidential voting system is stuck in the 18th century. Their Senate is designed to empower small minorities. It’s an Oligarchy pretending to be a modern democracy.
Both the British Elites and the American Elites are too arrogant to reform. That’s the curse of Empire.
I hope Canada can reform it’s political system. Get rid of FPTP. Create two round elections or adopt PR. Ban political spending on foreign-owned media (Facebook). Ban foreign residents from donating to political parties. Why are american businessmen living in Canada legally allowed to donate?
