In the last few days, I participated in two online events hosted separately by 2 private citizens to introduce political candidates to the voters of Kitchener Centre for the November 30 by-election.
Anny Idea how many people attended these two online events? I assume there were questions and answers, Did you get the impression that any or even most of them were looking for less government of more?
I don't think the "first past the post' system is the problem, although I agree with your term “bully by the majority" or mob rule. It is ridiculous to think one person can 'represent' all 100,000 individuals in a riding. Given that the MPP has to vote the Party line, only those who like all of the Premier's ideas will be happy. It doesn't matter WHO you elect, it matters which PARTY you vote for.
