<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
covered)<br>
<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>OK here's a recent one ... </div>

</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>
