a) Spoiled ballots - sounds weird to say, but for me that is ok. Allowing people to spoil ballots (I think it is technically illegal, but...) to me is fine. People should be allowed to spoil ballots and that number should be reported. Its a way to voice displeasure with the system, no one represents me, etc etc...whatever the reason...but still show that you are engaged. I.e. a way to say the system or all the parties suck.
b) Coalitions, minorities, etc - a bit of a devil's advocate here, but for lack of better words, "so what"? If that is how the people of Canada feel/think, than that is how Parliament should be. Besides, I kind of like minorities and coalitions - it makes for some good policy/discussion, etc. I'd almost rather have them most times than a majority government (regardless of political stripe).
