4. I was thinking more along the lines of
NDP getting 15.7%,and Greens getting 4.3% despite all the BS from the center-left government (which got about 36%) about them being a wasted vote. The conservatives only got 29.6% .

Unlike the worthless left in this country (myself included sadly)the Canadian left in large part stuck to their dreams and aspirations and now the center-left party in Canada (equal to our Democratic party) must now incluse the left in a coalition government and the NDP will demand proportional representation as a condition.The fact that they gained enough seats WITHOUT proportional representation is incredible (but honestly RESONABLE , better watch my words , us yellow bellys or yellowdogs here might take the word "incredible" to mean "not credible" ).

Over here we just melt away to like..... oooo.... lets just say (grabbing a number out of my arse,dont ask where it came from)2.7% in out most "bold" election years and usually do much worse than that.

We wont take the lesson. TRUST ME.
