Doug Ford keeps on getting reelected, his brother was the mayor of Toronto despite the drugs and overall unseriousness… I mean why do people elect these guys? Is it for the memes and laughs?
I’m being totally serious when I ask this btw. What does the average Doug voter’s rationale for getting this guy in office? Same with former Rob Ford voters. Who voted for Rob Ford? Why?
Edit: TLDR of the answers seem to be:
- Horrible effect of fptp, vote split between liberals, ndp and the greens
- Low voter turnout
We could ask the same question about the beetrooter, Angus Taylor, Pauline Hanson or any number of openly corrupt, mostly incompetent conservative politicians. I’m not from NSW but holy hell that Barilaro idiot seems like a real corrupt piece of shit but still managed to convince one of the richest states in the nation to make him Premier.
I suppose we could, but Ford and his brother stand out.
Hanson is probably the closest match.
I’m still trying to work out how Joyce manages to hold his seat, it’s incredible.
Joyce looks like he has trouble just standing up let alone holding a seat …
Yes he certainly does. He’s taken a couple of falls drunk.
