WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.
In Canada our current prime minister had campaigned on changing us from a FPTP to something else. In the end he commissioned a team to discuss feasibility of changing and they came back with the result that it’s not worth. Probably because of all of the reasons outlined. We also need electoral reform, especially at a provincial level. Our federal elections have 5 main parties that receive votes but only 3 that are actually contenders for PM. But at a provincial level it’s way more likely to be 2 parties FPTP. At least those have been my observations as an Albertan. I may be a bit off on some things, if I am I’m sure someone will point it out 👍.
