I really feel for you guys, Justin Trudeau's government has done so much damage to this country it'll take years if not a decade of a competent government to just undo the destruction. We have an election next year and at least it looks like he'll be done then, he's not looking very good in the polls.
The next conservative party government has really got their work cut out though, ruined economy, massive cost of living increases, rampant crime and a failing healthcare system in many provinces. Thanks Justin Trudeau.
Yep, I feel for you too. We've just installed Trudeau 2.0. They are two peas in a pod. Still early days to see just how bad things will get. But already the country has turned even more into a sh*thole.
One of the biggest themes going on right now is two-tier systems against nationals. This is a US based thread so I won't fill it up with UK politics. But Canada, UK and France are great case studies to inform your choices in the November election.
And pre-election steering is a major problem facing democracy.
Just look at the extremes France went to, in order to regain power. The mainstream media (especially in Europe) goes on hugely bias campaign to demonise right wing parties. Marie Le Pen was in line to win that election, but suddenly a outpour of tactical voting came in which gave the left-wing ('Centrist' claimed) Macron to take the lead again.
In the build up to the general election for the UK. Nearly every news outlet was biased and smearing the Reform UK party and Nigel Farage. It was actually disgusting how blatant it was. Due to the condition of UK politics at the time.
The party in power was the Conservatives (Tory) party. They had been in power for 14 years and was in major demand to be outed. Too much corruption and scandal in their name. And the party was unstable and out of touch. Because of this the conservative party were already in store for an election low.
In the UK, we don't have a two party system of such, however Labour and the Conservatives essentially create one due to their size and 'popularity'. So long story short, some people voted tactically Labour to out the Tories, some voted for other parties like Lib Dems, Reform etc, and many didn't vote at all. Reform was on course for a shock election result. But too many people falsely related the party to extreme right wing philosophies thanks to the media so didn't vote for them due to fear of being labelled as fascist or racist. However the media made it look like Labour won a majority through popularity, but the truth is Labour won because Conservatives lost so badly, and not enough people bothered to vote at all to stop Labour getting in.
Only 59.9% of the voting population turned up to vote. Conservates lost 19.9% of their poll vs the last election. They got 23.7% this time. And Labour won with the lowest poll percentage (33.7%) in election history that I could discover. And what the media won't discuss is that Reform actually was the third highest by poll vote share with 14.3% with over 4 million voters despite the medias interest to discredit the party.
So don't believe the US media when they try to claim a party is unpopular. Or you can see they are finding things to smear a party or individual. The media is not politically unbiased and is used as a weapon to taint democratic results. Best thing to do is actually shut out the media (social media as well), take a moment to look at each parties policies and decide for yourself where you align.
