Oh, one thing, I think that seats in the house of commons should be given out based on popular votes. it would be a truer representation of the people's wishes, and it would also mean that every vote counts. As is in many ridings the people always feel that their votes don't count, because they have lost their riding. but in the big pic, they are often in the majority.
just a little note about how I feel about the seats in the house of commons.
BTW: the green party gets 4.2% of the popular vote (over 500,000) and has no representation in the house? that is just not right. The bloc got some 1.5million votes and 54 seats. by right Ithink the green party should have 12 seats of their own. Some lonely indipendant gets 13,000 votes and wins a seat. There is definately something wrong with our system, but I doubt it will ever change in my lifetime.
Cheers!
