It bothers me if someone can't win a majority in their riding but yet still get the seat. Should have run-off elections to ensure majority of people confirm their support.

For example, Doug Schweitzer represents Calgary-Elbow with 44% of the vote, but the majority of people didn't vote for him.
Like clockwork. PR is the perennial argument of the parties that fail to capture seats.
