Why am I not surprised that a Conservative posted that he was...shall we say, less than honest.

Probably because you're the biggest crybaby I've ever encountered on the net. Seriously.

What's honest about a voting system that can let a party that captures barely a third of the popular vote rule unchecked for four years?

Careful, apparently if you make a deal to go with this and you change your mind you could be held accountable for fraud.

Nobody was complaining about our system before the Conservatives took over. I think the problem lies with poor party leadership in the Liberal party. Don't blame Harper because the Liberals shit the bed.

agreed Ruez
they are quick to point the finger but then fail to remember their 1.4 decades in office that did NOTHING for our country.

Vote swapping and "strategic voting" are bullshit - since when did the purpose of exercising your right the vote degrade into merely maximizing its impact, instead of voting for the candidate you feel is most suitable as your representative?
Your vote won't change the outcome of the election, period (has anyone won by a single vote margin?), and the sooner people realized this, the sooner they could focus on real alternatives to issues with our voting system.

7000.. and I'm good for about 30% of that. I wonder how all those folks in Nigeria are going to vote today?

Seems like the same thing we heard when Cretin and Co. had a majority in parliament and less than half the country voted for him. It's the best thing we have right now. No it isn't perfect, but no system is. Ya just have to quit bitchin' and do something about it then.
