This isn't Canada where you see a Liberal party with 64% of the popular vote.
What are you talking about? Popular vote number from last 20 years' winners:

2004 - Liberal = 37%
2000 - Liberal = 41%
1997 - Liberal = 38%
1993 - Liberal = 41%
1988 - PC = 43%
1984 - PC = 50%
etc...

You've gotta go back 20 years to see a winning party get 50% of the popular vote (but in all but the latest election, a majority resulted).
