We need mandatory monthly town halls held by our MPPs every month. #MonthlyTownHalls

I am a proponent of #SingleTransferableVote: #RankedBallots w/ #ProportionalRepresentation.
If I’m elected I will hold #MonthlyTownHalls, publish #WeeklyUpdates as to what I’ve been doing as MPP and tie 10% of my salary to my #ApprovalRating amongst my constituents in my riding.

#4 Finally our last platform item is perhaps the most controversial, the Electoral Reform Party will put forth legislation tying MPPs’ salaries to their approval rating amongst their constituents in their riding. #ERP #OntarioElection2022 #accountability #ApprovalRatingTiedSalary

#3 The Electoral Reform Party will put forth legislation obligating MPPs to publish a weekly newspaper column/blog/vlog (something) publicly available to explain how they’ve been representing their constituents each week. #ERP #OntarioElection2022 #accountability #WeeklyUpdates

#2 The Electoral Reform Party will put forth legislation obligating MPPs to hold #MonthlyTownHalls in their riding so their constituents can hold them accountable face-to-face and so MPPs have a pulse on the riding they represent. #ERP #OntarioElection2022 #accountability

Four Platform Items: #1 The Electoral Reform Party will put forth legislation that mandates Proportional Representation and Ranked Ballots such as ‘Single Transferable Vote’ so Ontarians are free from strategic voting #ERP #ElectoralReform #STV #OntarioVotes #OntarioElection2022

The Electoral Reform Party is committed to raising the accountability of government by addressing the electoral system at the core of our democracy while saddling politicians with obligations to their local constituents necessary for retaining their job between elections. #ERP

The Electoral Reform Party is a new political party to challenge the top-down nature of our political process. Major party politicians put their party first, instead of their local constituents interests. #ERP #OntarioVotes

Working class votes that parties like the NDP take for granted have slipped away to the Conservatives signaling that a centrist party is needed in order to create a large enough coalition of support to address the fundamental problem of First Past the Post. @JenatLFPress #ERP

Widespread social justice issues will see progress with electoral reform but not before. The noncompetitive political environment of First Past The Post reinforces the status quo.

To be clear, the ERP has an egalitarian philosophy but there is a conscious awareness that politics and headlines primarily concerned with race, sex, gender and the left-right culture war (etc.) CAN do a disservice to addressing the fundamental top-down nature of our democracy.

The existing major parties that support electoral reform are alienating a large portion of the voting base with identity politics.

The Electoral Reform Party was born of a need to have party representing Electoral Reform that was centrist instead of leftwing in order to build a large enough coalition of support.
