Is it my imagination or do Canadians really just want an electoral system that produces minority governments?

P.d0t posted:Is it my imagination or do Canadians really just want an electoral system that produces minority governments? I imagine most people don't know enough to have much of an opinion. Alternate voting systems have been getting some good press and attention but I don't think it's anywhere near enough for the average person to consider getting rid of the system we have. And it's not like democracy isn't working in the sense that nothing will happen until we choose a system to fix the problem. We have governments, they pass bills, etc. A new electoral system will (hopefully) optimize things but that's not what gets people's juices flowing. Plus the average person might be overly worried about Fringe Groups Having All The Power.

The NDP platform was better so even if they did an equal amount of Libbing as the Liberals we would still be coming out ahead of this garbage

They doubled First Nations health funding! While creating dozens of separate, redundant new FN health programs ensuring each one will be underfunded and ineffective

It would be amazing how much better if we went on an infrastructure spending spree in native reserves such as building paved roads to them and providing decades of promised funding to maintain them and also making it so none of them have third worldly water and sewage systems. The amount of money needed to spend on other programs could possibly be reduced if we took the time to build stuff for them. But nope.

They kept their promise to let in a bunch of refugees (mostly sponsored because they knew it would trigger ikantski) but failed to actually have a plan to deal with them once they were here and it ended up costing more because of the hotels/motels/fast food they had to budget for.

It's not like Stephen Harper was available to run for the liberals, so who else could they ever think of running. Also didn't ostensibly liberal papers just say to vote Harper out of fear that the NDP might win when polls started showing them in the lead

In the 2011 election Harper increased his overall vote count by 1.97 percentage points, to a whopping 39.62%. His majority in parliament had less to do with voter fatigue at minority governments or with "rewarding" Harper and a lot more to do with the Conservatives effectively microtargetting voters in key ridings.
