This is similar to Labour's logic in not campaigning for PR on the grounds FPTP sometimes gives them huge majorities.bolo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 3:44 pmHere in Virginia, there is a state constitutional amendment on the ballot that would take redistricting out of the hands of the state legislature and governor and give it to a nonpartisan commission. The Dems fought hard for this, until late last year when they suddenly found themselves with a Dem governor and a Dem controlled state legislature and a chance at getting their own back through some pro-Dem gerrymandering.
It is, I have to admit, hard to decide how to vote on this measure.
1. This ignores the fact that the status quo favours the Tories more often than them
2. Undemocratic act is undemocratic act even when we do it. Vote for commission.
