In a move that surprised absolutely no one, the Prime Minister today unveiled a new bill to reform Canada’s ‘First Past the Post’ electoral system that will have its first reading next week. Since coming to power in 2006, the Tories have complained that a party with 30-40 per cent of the popular vote is able to attain 100% of the power.
“The proportional representation electoral method is far superior to our current ‘first past the post’ system”, Cowboy Steve said today in Ottawa. “It’s more democratic. The way we do it now is grossly unfair to the 60% of Canadians who didn’t vote Conservative in spring’s election. When you think about it, the so-called ‘strong mandate’ Canadians gave my government is really complete bullshit, if you’ll pardon my French. The vast majority of Canadians hate us and our policies, and we’re going to do our utmost to recognize and remedy that fact.”
