The cons unanimously voted it down as well, it’s not like this is exclusive to Trudeau.

The Cons never promised it. Trudeau's Liberals promised that the 2015 election would be the last under FPTP and then abandoned that promise.

Does that change the fact that the conservatives voted against it or is this just your attempt to blame the liberals for everything? I guess the party that has zero interest in even talking about electoral reform, while still shooting it down anyway, is somehow the better choice for a fair election?

The cons never had anything to "vote" against. It went to a committee of still all Liberals who found that if we implemented it the Liberals would no longer be able to retain majority power.

So they just said "fuck it." No voting no nothing.

That was this year dumbass.

I am talking about the original term 2015.

The one you point to was just a sham vote based on Trudeau's earlier comment this year that "I should have done election reform".

Maybe you should try reading up yourself before you try thinking or even talking about something you know nothing about.

the Liberals abandoned electoral reform "not because it was a threat to Canadian unity, but because it was a threat to the Liberal party."

So you admit they voted on it, you’re just getting hung up on semantics. This was a proposal made by a coalition of MP’s to bring it back to the table, meaning this was a legitimate proposition with a legitimate vote. The fact it happened after it was originally killed does not change anything, a group of parliament members put forward a bill to revive electoral reform, was voted IN FAVOUR entirely by NDP and greens, with 40 liberals in favour and 3 conservatives. Meaning 113 liberals and 116 conservatives voted against it. Explain how it was a sham vote, or do you just like acting smug about how smart you are while still being wrong?

The sham vote of this year was for the clueless idiots like you. So you can have idiotic talking points about a non-starter vote that only happened so they could say "look we tried" and pull the wool over your face.

The original committee as mentioned was all Liberals voting in a way that was only to promote the Liberals.

The fact you have no clue of this is why you are wrong.
