I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what's best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

Instead of NOTA party, a quorum requirement. If not enough people vote to meet a quorum for a riding, the results are invalid and the election is redone. Further, due to the low engagement, all candidates who previously ran for said riding are barred from running again. Same idea as "None of the Above" party being formalized, but also increases engagement; sitting out means, literally, "meh, they all suck."

I mean, FFS, my condominium needs a quorum to do something obvious like getting our AC chiller upgraded; and yet, only 18% of eligible voters can give someone like Doug Ford a fucking majority?!

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of quorum instead of NOTA. I've sat on many boards, so I'm familiar with the concept.

It's not compatible with the mandatory voting found elsewhere, but that's not an issue for Canada.
