New title hasn't done much to reform our democracy
the number of people who don't even vote outnumber those who voted for our governing party. Add the fact that only 30,000 voters elect each Bloc Quebecois MP, but almost a million Green Party voters get none, and you can see that we indeed have a real democratic deficit.
Such is to be expected with an obsolete system, designed over five centuries ago, not changed much since. Would you trust 19th-century medicine to heal you? Would transportation options of the 18th century get you where you need to go on time?
Of course not. So why rely on such an out-of-date approach to elections?
