That's a matter of opinion. FPTP doesn't allow people to be represented even with casting a vote.
We look at seat count so intensely as part of our democratic process, but the popular vote isn't represented. If it was, we would have had the UCP with 20 less seats and far more balanced Legislature this morning.
The person elected in my riding doesn't represent me, I can tell you that right now.
