I have no real issue with whoever wins, so long as they are trying to make things better.

The election should be about how the party/elected official will make things better.

I take issue when the party/elected official's goal is to make things worse for their electorate, or a specific subset thereof.

See, it shouldn't be about 'winning' and 'losing' it should be about how.

Need to get from Montreal to Toronto?

The options are:
  • Car
  • Bus
  • Train
  • Plane

You might want plane, and the electorate say train. Sure it's not exactly how you wanted to get there, but you're still getting there.

Things go wonky when one party says "Need to get to Toronto? I'm gonna burn the train!"
