I hear what you're saying, and agree with it (almost) wholeheartedly. The phrase ""In a democracy, people get the government they deserve" keeps rolling through my mind. Man.....the first townhall meeting with Ruth Ellen Brosseau is going to be hilarious. Does the government now hire an interpreter for her?
I'd be a lot more upset if the NDP actually carried some power, but fortunately they don't. The only people that will (more or less) suffer are the constituents that voted for these people.
On the other side of the coin.....who knows, perhaps a couple/few of these people will actually turn out to be excellent politicians - ones that would never have had a chance in the normal stream of things. /foolish_optimism
