You know what would make me get confidence back in our democracy? A majority governement.

I too often fantasise about time travel.

I like how the book cover exposes its hierarchy of importance in terms of the font size.

ELIZABETH MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen another book by the same publisher with the exact same format.

Have to disagree with May. I gained confidence in Canadian democracy after last election when May/Greens lost.

Heh.

As a former PC, I suspect the old party would have still been around today if we had a near-PR system.

Agreed! An extra fifty seats or so would have made quite a difference in ’93. Too bad we got scared and let the Reformers swallow it up.

Who is Elizabeth May?

Elizabeth May is the one a million canadians voted for. Who is Jim?

Dot

Wow! Who’d a thought there were so many voters in Central Nova? Nevertheless, for a supposed “grass roots party”, who votes for the leader?

Dot

Using similar logic, of the 23.4 million voters eligible to vote, 22.4 million voted against “ELIZA – BETH MAY”!!! , so perhaps Jim is, like, 21.4 million ahead on the plus/minus side.
