Yes we would still be against the EC because the majority should win, also without the EC no bush or Trump and a fully liberal supreme court. It works like this, each party gets an even number of representatives that draw the districts they both agree on. I am American not Canadian and they have a different system where parties get to form coalitions, but yes each party should get a proportional number of seats on the house of commons as the popular vote.
Not in our system. In the past Democrat States raped, lynched and enslaved their minority populations because the majority favored it. We are a Republic that secures INDIVIDUAL rights against even the majority, and with the post civil war Republican Amendments our rights are now even secured against infringement by the Majority. Well, a President Bush, Bush won a majority in his second term. But, no President Clinton, he never carried a majority. There nothing "Liberal" about an unelected tribunal writing laws. And someone buys one of them out, one side takes power and takes control of the process. No thanks, we will stick with the US System, we have the oldest surviving democracy in the world.
Having the Majority write the laws does not take away minority rights because the constitutional protections are upheld by the courts. Having minority rule is subversion of "we the people" Bush would not have won in 04 if Gore was president and running for re-election. You mean like the supreme court appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote and who serve for life? The obvious fix is to use computer software to make the districts as evenly divided as possible so that the number of seats won reflects the popular vote. Also use ranked choice voting to allow 3rd parties a better shot, since there would be no risk of vote splitting.
We live in the United STATES. 50% more states voted for Trump over Hillary. You are arguing a counter-factual. The claim was made that Trump and Bush had not won a majority, when actually it is Presidents Trump and Clinton who recently have not won a majority.
