We Want Democracy!

We want a Democracy that is TRUE REPRESENTATION. The last Federal Election the Conservative Party won 39.6% of the votes BUT received 54.2% of the House Seats - HOW IS THAT ANY SORT OF REPRESENTATION? This is what has to STOP.

As long as we continue to have the MINORITY of the population GOVERNING the MAJORITY we will continue to have inequity in the system.This inequity is even more pronounced when we look further into the last Election. The 39.6% that the Conservatives received was of the number of Votes cast and only 61% of the eligible voters actually voted. This means the Conservative Government is only supported by 25 - 30% of the population. The question is - How can this in any way be considered DEMOCRACY and it certainly is not any sort of REPRESENTATION.
