Do you have any empirical evidence that there is any correlation between low voter turnout and electoral success for the Liberals and Conservatives versus the NDP or PQ/BQ, either at the federal or provincial level?[/b]
I was talking about increasingly low voter turnouts coinciding with paternalistic governments in Ottawa and Toronto. The NDP just wants one person to equal one vote and be counted is all. Nothing more than that. And I'm sure that if I peruse Liberal and Tory party web sites, I'll find reams and reams of information on the pluses for advanced proportional democracy invented some time after electricity.
