        </div>
        <div>I know what you mean, but the promise to get rid of FPTP 
          is only part of what was promised (the only part that gets

          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>He promised to get rid of FPTP. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>He promised to Make Every Vote Count (objectively, only
            PR does that - most second choices with AV are never even
            counted, much less count - it's not a goal of the system). </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>He promised to follow the advice of experts.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>All in that promise speech.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>So it's kinda like he said,<i> "I promise something
              that's about 8 pounds, very fuzzy, purrs, sheds, meows and
              goes in a litter box".</i></div>
          <div><i><br>
            </i></div>
          <div>Without saying CAT. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Later: <i>Don't know you know I would only ever accept a
              raccoon? I've always been crystal clear.</i></div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>But I do know what you mean, Don. To most of the media,
            all he promised was to get rid of FPTP.  That's the
            narrative.</div>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Agreed that our amazing grassroots efforts were effective
          in stopping Alternative Vote - we helped make that a political
          loser for him, at that moment in time. Not really a win to win
          the status quo, but it leaves the door open for progress in
          future :)</div>

            <div>Anita, when we refer to the 'Broken Promise', we should
              be careful NOT to imply that Trudeau promised PR ... he
              promised he would change the voting system, but everybody
              and his dog knew he wanted ranked ballot which would have
              given him about 220 seats instead of 184 if RB were used
              in the last election ... we're lucky he broke his promise
              and didn't do that. Probably the overwhelming preference
              for PR indicated by the presentations prevented him from
              imposing ranked ballot, so all was not in vain.</div>
