New coalition idea

I was reading something recently, to all you 63% majority followers, about how in the riding of Toronto-Danforth, the elected MP only received 45% of the vote.

 I submit that the three other candidates:  Andrew Lang (Lib, 29.6%), Sharon Howarth (Green, 13.1%), and Christina Perreault (Con, 11.6%) form a coalition to unseat the winner for that seat.  They could take turns sitting in the House of Commons.

 

 Bummer though.. that would leave the leader of the NDP without a seat.

We have a FPTP system. First Put the Troll to Pasture...

Would you mind doing this math for all 308 ridings while one of the Moderators disables your account.

call me what you will.  Doesn't change the fact that your guy only got 45% of the vote in his own riding, which is what you are bitching about with Harper on a national level.

why would I be disabled? 

Are differences of opinion not permitted?

Only like-minded people welcome?  Geesh.. that would turn this into one big rah-rah site now wouldn't it.

Any your debating point would be, mein troll?

laughingatu, differences of opinion in the spirit of intellegent debate are allowed and encouraged.  Then there's what you said.  That particular specious and really rather silly bit had been slinking about the internet, as well as less reputable print outlets for a while now.  I believe it's even been through here before.

It is utter nonesense of course, and merely represents the continuing slightly mocking and supercilious attitude which has defined your posts since you started.

I agree, the term troll applies.  Bye.

May as well close this now.
