PLpol, pseudoliberalism
Tell me, is a "liberal" the kind of person to claim that a woman must not become a president, as she'll get mad with power? Does a "liberal" declare their tolerance for specific people by using insulting names for them? Does a "liberal" call certain minorities "loafers"? Does a "liberal" support dismantling public services for "cost reduction"? Yet these are the views held by the voters of PO/KO, the Polish party often called "liberal".
It is not a liberal party, and it won't be one, because they have too much to lose. For years now, they exist only as an alternative to the "conservative" PiS party — not as something truly opposite, but as a comfortable alternative that's not all that different. So the Polish can gladly focus their contrarian, hateful nature into voting against one or the other party, without having to worry too much that some immoral rainbow force will try to shatter the bubble of their worldview.

Sanseito touts 'Japanese First' rhetoric to gain support
Some observers say conservative voters who left the Democratic Party for the People are turning to the fledgling opposition party by default.

British Columbians Could Enjoy Better City Elections
If the province would let them.
From Sightline Institute
In municipal elections across British Columbia, voters are stuck using bloc voting or ward voting, methods that can overrepresent one party or ideology at the expense of all others.
If not for a few lines of provincial law, local governments could adopt single transferable vote, a gold-standard form of proportional representation.

Someone tell the democrats:
Voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate

Voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate
Sorry, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson.

Majority of Voters Oppose Trump's “Big, Beautiful Bill,”
With Just 27 Percent Backing It
The bill would gut billions of dollars in health care spending,
and redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich.
