>> "At least 38% of the people in Canada provided the 'majority' for the present government- far better than the US." << I don't know about better but with all the vote splitting in our country we don't seem to ever get an elected government with much more than 40% of the popular vote. Unless the Alliance can get wider acceptance (since the Bloc never will) we are effectively stuck with 'rule by the minority'. This is an ongoing issue and not just specific to our current government. regards Kastel PS: NO I would never propose that we go simply by popular vote either.
