Oh, for sure! I do realize that it's a bit of a pipe dream.
To be honest, I'd be happy (as a starting point) if the average voter could do three things:
1. Name at least three party leaders.
2. Clearly identify at least ONE reason they are choosing a party over the others.
3. Show up on election day.
I think that would be a pretty big step in the right direction.
I realize the list shows significant contempt for the average Canadian voter. I'm not actually trying to be mean, which is the sad part.
