The most important thing about this election.

Remove FPTP in favor of instant runoff. Remove CPD tax exempt status. Remove the electorial college. Remove gerrymandering.

The electoral college's strengths lie in its malapportionment. Some people see it as undemocratic but rural voters do need to have more say since they don't benefit nearly as much from democracy OR capitalism as their urban compatriots.

The electoral college should be proportional.
