    Of those who voted. Plus he got more seats now than previously.

    Plus, I have no sympathy for those who didn't vote and bitch about the current government.
    Even though I understand why many didn't vote. They disliked all the leaders. That's why Harper is in IMO. People took the lesser evil.

    I voted. I can complain. Our representation system is essentially unfair.

    My sig is actually a slur against Putin. Katsap is a Ukrainian slur for a dirty Rossian based on the word tsap for goat :D

    Really I'd prefer a Propotional rep. Parties actually have to work together and everyones vote actually counts.

    I don't get the point of this election, Harper just wanted to get more votes, there's no way anyone else would've won, the leaders aren't strong enough to have that much weight. It was just a waste of our money from the beginning, nothing's really changed.

    He was hoping the Liberals would be weak enough that he'd get his majority government.

    And he asked the Gov-Gen to dissolve the government so his didn't seem weak getting defeated on some bill by the opposition.

    Hmmmm...I'm confused. Harper wants to be tougher on those who break the law. His supporters supposedly support that. Harper broke his own law. His supporters supported him and even more voted for his party.

    I see something amiss here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
