'Skinny' thinks, like most PR pushers, that unless his candidate wins a seat, his vote was somehow <I>"wasted"</I> - every kid in the game deserves a trophy no matter how badly their side performs.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884491329536733335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-31865580921997611452007-10-14T11:52:00.000-07:002007-10-14T11:52:00.000-07:00Whatever happened to coming up with sensible polic...Whatever happened to coming up with sensible policies on issues that would make a voter turn to your direction.<BR/><BR/>NDP - 75 years has not gotten the confidence of Canadians to become the Federal government.<BR/><BR/>I think they should earn their vote by convincing people with good policies and viewpoints - not given by MMP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-30506329196932892142007-10-14T07:41:00.000-07:002007-10-14T07:41:00.000-07:00Coyne ignores the 63% of 52% who voted against MMP...Coyne ignores the 63% of 52% who voted against MMP..!<BR/>Coyne's idea of democracy says all ridings should be represented by first, the politician who garnered the most votes, but also the <BR/>second and third place finishers as well, afterall, extreme political viewpoints aren't extreme, they're JUST different.<BR/><BR/>MMP is affirmitive action for politicians with distastefull policies...politicians, who can't sell their policies to main-stream voters, like the NDP, the Communist Party, the Skin Head Party, the Anti-Gay Party, the Save-The-Whales Party, the Anti-Abortion Party..etc..etc..<BR/>If any of the above mentioned parties can garner 3% of 52%..then<BR/>..according to Coyne..all deserve a VOICE in parliment..!<BR/><BR/>One more time...<BR/>Thats NOT DEMOCRACY.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for your loss skinny dipper...but the truth is..<BR/>You ARE represented by the MPP who won your riding, if after four years you are still unhappy with his/her representation of you..<BR/>well..get involved, organize, mount a challenge...it is your right.!<BR/><BR/>That IS DEMOCRACY....!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-26313343489026398232007-10-14T06:03:00.000-07:002007-10-14T06:03:00.000-07:00Government.Government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-9614011147493566692007-10-14T04:56:00.000-07:002007-10-14T04:56:00.000-07:00If those who voted for MMP are losers at 37% what ...If those who voted for MMP are losers at 37% what does that make voters for the PCs?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509182679650412982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-68082973047515660122007-10-14T03:59:00.000-07:002007-10-14T03:59:00.000-07:00Isn't democracy wonderful?John Tory and his Conser...Isn't democracy wonderful?<BR/><BR/>John Tory and his Conservatives were defeated. Voters rejected faith-based funding of private religious schools. Do I think that the supporters of private religious school funding will go away forever? No. Why? Democracy is fluid. Supporters of faith-based funding and proportional representation will try again. They may propose the same thing again or make amendments to their proposals.<BR/><BR/>I did vote for MMP in Ontario's referendum; I'll be supporting STV for British Columbia. I support proportional representation because I want my vote to count for something and I want to have meaningful representation in Ontario's legislature and the federal House of Commons.<BR/><BR/>I have to take public transit these days because my yogic carpet is being repaired at Canadian Tire. I must be one of the losers who supports proportional representation because I voted for Harper's Conservatives in the last federal election. Unfortunately, no Conservative MP represents me in Toronto.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
