"Every vote counts!" - that's the rallying cry calling people out to vote. Yesterday the Alberta PC party won 73 of 83 seats with 54% of the vote. That's 88% of the seats with just 54% of the vote; 64% more seats than if we had proportional representation.
We have a very strong disconnect between the way people vote and the government that gets sent to Edmonton. No wonder a record 59% of eligible voters didn't vote. That should worry any democratic government, even one with 88% of the seats.
