I'm always surprised that you, Americans, have to constantly have to register on a voter's list.
ReplyDeleteHer in Canada, we are automatically registered on EVERY voter's lists as soon as we are 18yo. With our income taxe reports on federal and provincial sides, we are also automatically registered and that for all our life time.
The only thing we have to mention if we are moving to another address for it influence in which departement we will vote in the future elections.
At eache elections, four years appart, I will recieve in my mail box a card (by Canada Post) with my name and the location where I'll be casting my vote.
It's the job of the political parties to humbly and respectfully ask those 101,176,932 potential voters what they want and what they, the political parties, need to do to win their support. Never forget who is the boss here. Politicians need to listen to the people, not lecture us.
ReplyDeletePeople completely lose sight of the facts when they are being constantly bombarded with lies and fake news, don't they? Anyone can look at these numbers and know who won the last election. The Electoral College is a wild card that can grossly distort the will of the people (i.e. 2016) - that needs to go away! As for me, I always knew and was always confident the will of the people would prevail. As I've said on this forum before, I'm a "yellow-dog" Democrat. I would vote for a yellow dog before I would vote for a Republican! Perge!
ReplyDeleteWhqt is also different is that we have a multi party elections. We have 5 parties on the federal side and here in province of Québec we have also 5 parties which aren't related to the ones in federal. The same for those of the cities which are independent from the other levels of governments.
ReplyDeleteOur judges and Suprem Court judges have to be non partisans and show no affiliation to any oarties.
The main difference also is that the party who wins an election is by the numbers of each citizen votes without no electoral college here.
The leader of that party becomes our Prime Minister and is the one who will pass laws and politics for the country or the province.
