“mass signup of new South Asian members.”
To all the Indian-bashers: this is how our politicians are fooling us. Our ire should be directed at them, not at each other.
Sadly, ‘Divide and rule’ is a timelessly useful tactic. https://t.co/IzZnJAI5Qd

National Post- Poilievre sweeps to Battle River-Crowfoot byelection victory
Poilievre, who faces a leadership review early next year, needed to not only win the riding but post numbers similar to Kurek’s. With 150 of 286 polls reporting, Poilievre had 18,263 votes. Second-place runner Bonnie Critchley, an independent, had 2,124 votes. There were 214 candidates registered, many of them placed by the Longest Ballot Committee, a group that is advocating for electoral reform. Because of the length of the potential ballot, Elections Canada decided to go with a write-in system instead, slowing the vote count.

“American-Style Pork-Barrel Politics”
Spiked- Cracks are surfacing in the EU’s cosy cartel
It is worth noting that the European Parliament is not really a democratic institution. It functions more as a Potemkin parliament – a stage-managed performance in which the dominant party blocs pretend to represent voters. Manfred Weber, leader of the EPP, the largest group in the parliament and von der Leyen’s chief backer, let the mask slip when he said last week: ‘We are the oldest group in [the European Parliament], we respect its political culture. The European Parliament is not Westminster.’ What he meant, in effect, was that he prefers a system governed by gentlemanly backroom deals, not by genuine adversarial debate, as practised in the UK House of Commons.
