I always ask myself how can we call this a REPRESENTATION GOVERNMENT? The Conservative Party received 39.6% of the Popular Vote and holds 54.2% of the HOUSE SEATS. When we count the Citizens that did not vote, the Consservatives only have about 25% of CANADIANS and yet they have the RIGHT to GOVERN the whole of CANADA.

A true REPRESENTATION would be if the Popular Vote % equaled the House %. In the case of the Conservative Party with 39.6% of the Popular Vote should have 39.6% of the HOUSE SEATS.
