As you know full well I think our current electoral system is part of the problem. First past the post not only keeps the Liberals as strong as they are but it concentrates their power in the most populous region of the country. They are overrepresented in Ontario because of our electoral system and underrepresented in most other places. NDP should be more powerful than it is.

That's exactly my point.

If our current system keeps the liberals in power and they can do whatever they want to keep it, how do you suppose anything will ever change?

I disagree. I think people really care about the scandal. But that doesn't mean someone will change their votes to a party that has opposite beliefs to their own.
The NDP is hardly opposite the Liberals. The liberal budget is in fact the NDP budget right now.

If the NDP should indeed be more powerful than they are as you said above, then I don't see why they aren't a viable option right now.

seems like some Conservative supporters believe the Liberals should automatically be voted out.
I'm actually a pretty p*ss poor conservative supporter, but on this I'll agree. People who steal and lie should be voted out. It's absolutely black and white IMO.
