Multico, In Canada we have the best government money can buy...if only they would stay bought, like US governments.
In fact we have a plurality system. You get 5-10 guys running for each seat. 3-4 main parties and a bunch of flakes. The winner may have 20% of the vote, with 19, 17, 12,8,7,4,3,2 1 ...etc for the rest of the group. the 20% wins it. There is no runoff, none at all. As a result we get left leaning governments since the leftists are linked to labour and have a sea of workers who they make the voters turn out.
The left wing groups typically get a 90% turnout of their voters. The others are in the 50% area. So we often get a labour government and we then have unrivalled graft and corruption for their term.
the liberals are Canada's left of center main party. the right of center is split between 2 groups who will amass far more popular votes that the liberals, but one of the right groups is a pr*ckhead(Clark) of monstrous proportions and refused to talk to the reform party unles it folded and combined with the conservatives(Clark's party).
So we will have a majority liberal government with a minority of the popular vote. We also have an unelected senate that is used to reward party stalwarts with a permanent job with good wages and a rich pension.
We need a revolution here, but the sheep say Baaa, Baaa
