Agree to disagree, I guess. Bet you'd sing a different tune if your party kept losing due to disproportionate representstion. And is Ivan some kind of new slang I missed out on?
Yes! Voter reform needs to happen, the fact that the ndp and block got almost the same amount of votes, but fewer seats, and thus are under represented is abhorrent. Same goes to the non con voters in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They suffer under the rule of the cons against their will
Even with a reform, the CPC would not have gained enough seats to lead the parliament.

To blame the current voting system doesn't change the outcome at this moment, and reflect the will of the ~~majority~~ largest group of voters for a single party.

Oh yes I do agree that vote reform wouldn't have made the cons win.
That part i don't fully agree with, as the majority of votes weren't cast for the liberals.
Sorry, wrong word. I mean the largest group of voters.
Ah yes, fully agree there, I think it's the plurality of votes
I don't have a party.
Yeah, apparently.
And you are crying into your beer because a party didn't read the room and their leader shot them in the leg.
Also don't assume shit about me.
