Same gerrymander ROT in Canada due to Brit conquest of French Canada in 7 years War in 1750s-1760s
— one actor for Brits – younger George Washington.
Set stage for 1775-1784 Am Rev War — with GW defeating Brits with major French revenge help.
*******
1/2 or less [plurality] votes x 1/2 [bare majority] rigged packed/cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL
= ANTI-Democracy MINORITY RULE O-L-I-G-A-R-C-H-Y
— with always lurking TYRANT MONARCHS – STALINS/HITLERS.
UNEQUAL votes for winners in districts.
UNEQUAL total votes in districts.

PR and AppV — esp in small island regimes like PEI — seeing many hacks daily.
Another interesting (for small parties and ballot access) result in PEI: in the legislative election, the Green Party got the second largest number of seats and will be the official opposition party. This is the first time PEI will have a minority government. The Conservatives got 12 seats, the Greens 8 and the Liberals 6, with one seat vacant.
Question: have the Greens ever gotten the first or second largest number of seats anywhere above the local level — state, provincial or national?
gerrymander election also —

Lots of gerrymander district HACK winners under 40 percent — really evil minority rule regime —
on a small island.

had to win in 17 gerrymander districts = TOTAL CORRUPTION by the oligarchs
— par for the EVIL rot in Canada and the super-rotted UK.
How many DEAD/injured Americans defending the ROT in such regimes in WW I and WW II ???
