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
  • thisorthatorwhatever@lemmy.world

    Agree with everything that you said…add the size of our ridings at a 100,000 people to 1 representative. Ridings should be no larger than 30,000 people. Many people have never met, or could point out. their rep.
