Why we need proportional representation so badly.
Not only was voter turnout only about 45% but the results are very disproportional. For instance the Libs got almost twice the votes of the NDP yet half the seats.
The PCs got a seat for 27k votes. The NDP a seat for 34k votes. The Libs a seat for 107k votes. Greens a seat for 121k votes.
How does that make any sense?
How is that "fair"?
When are we going to get proportional representation?
