I disagree with this tactic. As much as it may hurt Poilievre (I doubt it, really), it will hurt Critchley at least as much.
The idea is to show the failings in our electoral system, but I don’t see how it does that - and it plays into the hands of authoritarians who want to tightly vet the candidates appearing on a ballot.
If we had MMP voting, how would that stop enormous ballots from happening - other than encouraging the groups doing this to retire?
While I don’t want to see the number of signatures to get on a ballot increased, I don’t see a problem with requiring people to only sign on for one candidate.
Not only do I not have an issue with someone signing for multiple candidate, I do not have a problem with hundreds of people on the ballot. Thousands.
Adding additional restrictions to candicy as a mechanism to preserve democracy is like fucking for virginity.
Secondly, it’s nobodies fucking business who I vote for, or whom I want the future OPTION to vote for. Not yours and certainly not the fucking governments. None of your business if I even had an opinion.
Although I hate to make a slippery slope argument, this ends as “registering” as a Republican or Democrat.
This isn’t a problem that requires solving, this is a feature.

People know their candidate by heart they can gloss over the other names.
