Seems like a good thing Justin didnt do that....for Justin anyways.
Its sad that the Conservatives got almost 250,000 more votes but lost.
In effect this Country is being taken somewhere most of us dont want to go by someone we didnt agree to follow. I think theres a term for that....

That's all true, but another way to look at it is:
Popular vote:
Liberal: 33.1 (157 seats)
NDP: 15.9 (24 seats)
Green: 6.5 (2 seats)
Tories: 34.4 (121 seats)
PPCs: 1.6 (0 seats)
Bloc: 7.7% (32 seats)
So 55.5% for the left/center left
36% for the right/center right
and 7.7% for the Bloc, whatever they identify as these days - labour left/immigration right/etc.
