Our electoral system is broken

-

Campaign for June 2 Ontario election to begin Wednesday, May 3

Why are we Ontarians not more critical of an electoral system in which a party has only 37 per cent of the citizenshi­p voting for it yet is projected to retain 100 per cent of the political power?

I’m sure if a foreign state that was unpopular with us had such a system we would be castigatin­g it for being undemocrat­ic.

So why are we being urged to participat­e in such a mug’s game?
