      A 45% voter turnout which followed a 41% turnout will do that. Here in Montréal we elected an ex-Liberal piece of shit mayor because the turnout was only 36%.

      It is, quite frankly, our fault. This isn’t the US, we have good options readily available, so anyone who doesn’t vote but complains should be automatically signed up to get their fucking teeth kicked in.

        People don’t understand electoral democracy well. Which might be saying something about the system itself.
