Oh honey, if only.

This is extremely groovy, and congratulations.

But how do you elect a strong majority government in one party with less than 40% of the popular vote? Differential turnout? Maplemandering?

I'm sorry, Rebecca, but I'm going to file this one as "Someone, who hasn't given me any objective reason to hate her, has nepotismed herself into a nice chunk of change, because the whole infotainment industry is fucking stupid".

I don't even hate the Kardashians, or the duck-fuckers. They're just plucking the money tree while it's there. (Actually, I do hate the duck-fuckers a little, since they won't just take the money, but feel compelled to be assholes as well).

As Ms Funkette says. We have three parties that split the vote- Liberal, NDP, and Conservatives. And the Green nibbles away at 5%. The other big problem is that almost all the Liberal seats are urban, and almost all the Con seats are rural, so the butthurt whining about Toronto choosing the government has commenced on my Facebook page. Completely ignoring the fact that the majority of the population lives in the cities, and we don't allocate seats by acreage. (I live in the country, surrounded by idiots)

OT but I'm not finished celebrating yet- no I did not feel like killing myself this morning, because last night the voters of Ontario kicked the right-wing Tea Party wannabe Tim Hudak to the curb, and elected a majority Liberal government- ok, with less than 40% of the popular vote, but with a strong majority of seats which means that Kathleen Wynne doesn't have to get get jerked around by the NDP's Andrea Horwath anymore! Whoo hoo! (while I do not object to the NDP in principle, the leader made a really bad decision in bringing down the Liberal minority government and precipitating this unnecessary election.) Oh, and it's my birthday! Happy Friday 13th!

Hopefully Darrell "DickFace" Issa will launch an investigation since this $$$ is obviously flowing to Hillary for illegally financing her-- a] Presidential campaign b] Benghazi coverup c] Vince Foster murder coverup d] Whitewater coverup

What'd I miss?
